Being arrested for DUI is a traumatic experience, and the loss of your freedom - even for a short amount of time - can be stressful.
But remember, an arrest is not a conviction.
All that's needed to arrest or charge someone is suspicion on an officer's part that a crime occurred; however, proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required for a conviction.
Each state has different laws/punishments for DUI, and many websites are not current.

If you or a loved one has been arrested for DUI, the most important thing to remember is that an arrest is NOT a conviction!
All that is needed to arrest or charge someone is suspicion on an officer's part that a crime occurred.
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required for a conviction.
The standard of proof needed to convict is much higher than the suspicion standard needed to justify an arrest.
That said, it's still critical to hire an experienced and qualified DUI attorney immediately.
If you've been arrested for DUI, it's critical to hire an experienced and qualified DUI attorney, because there's a tremendous amount at stake if you are convicted.
