However, it does not in any way mean that you have been found guilty. When the police arrest you on dui, they charge you with driving when drunk which is a serious criminal offense. Following your drunk driving charges the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) takes away your driving rights. The DMV requires that you request for a hearing within ten days of your arrest. It is advisable that that you hire a lawyer to represent you at the hearing. The DMV may mandate that you carry the SR22 insurance, a special kind of policy before reinstating your driving rights. Like with most other criminal offences, you are innocent until proven guilty. If you are issued with a dui charge, you are required to go to court. You can hire a dui attorney to defend you. In the event that you are found guilty, the charge is entered into your driving and criminal record. You should be careful not to receive a dui charge because once it is put in your record, it will make it difficult for you to accomplish certain tasks. For instance, you will be unable to secure insurance for your car. You will even find it difficult to secure yourself a job as no employer will want to hire an individual with a criminal record.
