Riverside Driving Under the Influence of Drugs Cases

About Driving Under the Influence of Drugs Charges

In California it is illegal to be under the influence of an illegal controlled substance and this includes while driving a vehicle or boat. Driving and using drugs is just as dangerous to the driver and others and drinking and driving. A person may be stopped and subjected to tests just as a drunk driver can, but the officer must have had reasonable cause for the stop. If you have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of drugs you need the assistance of a Riverside drug defense attorney.

If the officer wants to conduct a Field sobriety test you are not obligated to agree, but refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test would result in an automatic suspension of your license.

Even if you are told that you failed this test all is not lost.
