Federal DUI In Virginia Lawyers Driving Influence Alcohol Evidence

If you have been charged with DUI / DWI which took place on a road owned by the Federal government, National Park Service land, place on federally owned property, including military bases or other government-owned lands or roads, such as the GW Parkway and the Pentagon parking lot then you will be prosecuted in a Federal court.

Under 36 CFR 4.23 Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs

"(a) Operating or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle is prohibited while:

(1) Under the influence of alcohol, or a drug, or drugs, or any combination thereof, to a degree that renders the operator incapable of safe operation; or

(2) The alcohol concentration in the operator's blood or breath is 0.08 grams or more of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or 0.08 grams or more of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. Provided however, that if State law that applies to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol establishes more restrictive limits of alcohol concentration in the operator's blood or breath, those limits supersede the limits specified in this paragraph."

Hill v. United States

Facts:

Where an officer arrested defendant for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, suppression of evidence seized during an inventory search was not warranted under the Fourth Amendment, because the officer stopped him based upon his observation of defendant's drifting as well as his texting while driving, and the magistrate judge found the officer's specific, articulable observations to be credible.
