Getting a DUI in Orange, CA

If you drink and drive in Orange County, CA, you are very likely to get pulled over and be charged with DUI, DWI, or DUI of Drugs. DUI stands for Driving Under the Influence and is a charge that can be applied to someone driving a vehicle while drunk. DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated and has the same definition as DUI. DUI of Drugs means driving under the influence of any type of drugs or over the counter medication.

A simple rule of thumb is: if you drink or take or smoke anything that inhibits your ability to safely drive, and yet you drive anyway, you can be charged with DUI, DWI, or DUI of Drugs.

VC 23152(e) – DUI of Drugs Charge

Driving under the influence of Drugs is a violation of the Vehicle Code 231452(e), which reads: “It is unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any drug to drive a vehicle.” It is very similar to driving under the influence of alcohol. One way that this charge differs from a regular “DUI” charge is that when an officer suspects the presence of drugs in someone's system, a breathalyzer test will not show drugs and a blood test will have to be ordered. Other evidence that can be used to charge someone with DUI of drugs includes the defendant's statements, behavior, and appearance.

Can I Refuse A Breathalyzer Test or Blood Test?

According to Vehicle Code 23612, any person who operates a vehicle in the State of California is considered to have already given their consent to having their blood or breath tested for the purpose of determining alcoholic content if that person is lawfully detained on suspicion of having violated the drunk driving laws of the state.

This means that if you are pulled over on suspicion of DUI, you are obligated to submit to the breath or blood test when asked by the investigating officer. The refusal to submit to a breath test or blood test could result in a forced blood draw to test your blood for alcohol content and an increased penalty if convicted of DUI.

Can I go to Jail for DUI?

If you are operating a vehicle and driving erratically, you could be pulled over for a traffic violation. If the officer has reason to suspect that you are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he or she will administer a field sobriety test. If the officer suspects the presence of alcohol in your system, you may be asked to take a breathalyzer test. If the officer suspects the presence of drugs in your system, you may be required to take a blood test, since drugs cannot be detected by a breathalyzer.

You will likely be arrested for DUI if the officer thinks that alcohol or drugs are making you unable to operate a vehicle in a safe way. In California, anyone with a blood alcohol level over  .08% is considered to be Driving Under the Influence and will be charged with DUI. 

Unlike a DUI of Alcohol charge, there is no legal threshold that has to be met in order to charge someone with DUI of Drugs. If a person is operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner, with any amount of drugs in their system whatsoever, then they can be charged with DUI of Drugs.

DUI Laws In Orange County California

While driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol is illegal throughout the State of California, Orange County has some of the toughest laws for punishing those convicted of DUI charges.

The drunk driving laws for California are found in Vehicle Code Section 23152 and Vehicle Code section 23153, which says that:

  • 23152(a) – It is illegal for anyone who is under the influence of alcohol to operate a vehicle
  • 23152(b) It is illegal for anyone who has a blood alcohol content exceeding 0.08% or more to operate a vehicle.
  • 23152(e) – It is illegal for anyone who is under the influence of drugs to operate a vehicle.
  • 23152(f) – It is illegal for anyone who is under the influence of any combination of drugs or alcohol to operate a vehicle.

In many cases, both the 23152(a) and 23152(b) charges will be filed together.

DUI Bail

Anyone who is arrested and charged in Orange, CA will have an opportunity to post “bail” in order to get out of jail to work, maintain family relationships, and prepare for their legal defense. The amount of bail varies, depending on the exact charges that are filed against an individual. he bail schedule is available at each booking facility and county jail or it can be located online here.

Bail is an amount of money deposited with the court to secure a person's release from jail until their legal case can be resolved. Once a person has paid their bail to the court, the court will hold the money and allow the defendant to return home to work and family, until their legal proceedings come to a close. The bail schedule outlines the amount of bail required for each offense. In order to understand the full amount of bail that will be required to secure someone's release, you must know all of the charges against the defendant and add all of the bail amounts together.

Once the legal process has been completed, whether convicted or not, the money used for bail is returned to the person who posted it with the court. If a friend or family member posts bail with the court system, then the money is returned to the person who posted it.

DUI Bail Bonds

Many times the amount of money required for bail is more than someone can come up with, easily.

He keeps the fee as payment for helping to secure bail more quickly and for assistance to the court in tracking and ensuring the compliance of defendants who are out on bail.

The amount of bail required to get out of jail after being charged with DUI, DWI, or DUI of Drugs will vary, depending on a number of factors. Whether this is your first charge for DUI, or if you already have a DUI case pending or DWI conviction will play a large part in how much your fine might be. In Orange, CA, the fine for a first time DUI offense is usually $1,800 for a conviction, but the amount of bail required initially may be quite a bit more than that as several charges are usually filed at the same time, even though they may not all go to trial or result in a conviction.

Rates on DWI Bail Bonds

The state of California requires that all bail bond companies charge 10% of the total amount of bail, in order to post bond for a defendant. That means that if the bail is $20,000, the bail bondsman is required to charge $2,000 to post a bond in place of the bail. While this may still seem like a lot of money, it's far less than having to pay the entire amount.

California law allows for a discounted rate on bail bonds if the defendant retains a private attorney and pays the premium in full within 72 hours. These discounts are allowed for government union workers, members of the military, and AARP members. These discounts are determined by the surety company that is writing the bonds for the bail bond company.
