If you've been stopped for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol in Arizona, it's important for you know the new Arizona DUI laws for 2007 so that you can be prepared in case you are stopped and arrested.

Severe DUI Consequences

The consequences for a DUI conviction in Arizona are more serious than ever.  DUI convictions range from misdemeanors to felonies, and even a first offense brings a mandatory minimum jail sentence, generally of one to ten days but possibly ranging up to six months. Fines for a first offense can go up to $2500 dollars. Your driving privileges may also be suspended or restricted, and an ignition interlock device can be placed in your vehicle at your expense for a period of time up to 18 months depending on the offense (24 months in cases of a second offense). 

Extreme DUI

For cases of extreme DUI (blood alcohol content over 0.15) new laws have been implemented in 2007 that require a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 consecutive days in jail, plus additional penalties. Moreover, the new Arizona DUI laws of 2007 allow an individual convicted of extreme DUI to be monitored for alcohol consumption for an extended period of time. For a first offense that includes a BAC of 0.2, the convicted individual must now serve no less than 45 consecutive days in jail.

Second DUI Offense

For a second DUI offense, it is even more crucial to contact a DUI lawyer from Phillips & Associates, as a second offense within 5 years of a first offense carries a jail sentence of 30 days to 6 months. This is a broad range, and a good DUI lawyer knows how to present your case so that you are either proven innocent, or so that you at lease receive the minimum sentence. A second offense also means the revocation of your license, meaning that it may not automatically be re-instated once the revocation period is over.
