Serious penalties for Oregon DUI crimes

On behalf of David J. Celuch | Sep 27, 2020 | Drunk Driving

An arrest based on suspected drunk driving can be both stressful and costly to an Oregon resident. While they may understand that their charges are serious, they may not be familiar with the penalties that they can face if they are convicted. This post introduces some of the possible sanctions that drunk driving convictions can bring in Oregon, but no part of this post should be read as legal advice. All inquiries about specific DUI and DUII cases should be directed to knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys.

Drunk driving in Oregon

Drunk driving in Oregon is known as driving under the influence of intoxicants, which results in the acronym DUII. A DUII charge may be issued if an individual is found to have a blood alcohol concentration of at least .08%. Minors who are found with alcohol in their systems can be charged with DUII even if their BAC levels are under. 08% due to the state’s zero tolerance law.

Drunk driving charges are treated differently as a person amasses more than one. As such, the penalties that they can face for their actions also change as their number of DUII charges increases.

Penalties for drunk driving in Oregon

When convicted of a drunk driving crime, an Oregon resident will face some type of penalty. Often the loss of one’s driving privileges is part of that penalty, and if a person has been convicted of DUII crimes in the past, the duration of the loss may be extended. If they are convicted of felony DUII, they may face jail time and many DUII crimes involve fines as parts of their sanctions. The facts of individual DUII cases will often determine how and what penalties a person will face upon conviction.

Legal help can make a difference for those dealing with DUII charges. Criminal defense legal professionals can offer guidance and advocacy for those struggling with their legal dilemmas.
