Underage drinking and DUI is a problem, not just in Idaho, but throughout the United States.  Idaho has approached the problem a variety of ways.  The state of Idaho has created task forces to deal with the problem of DUI and alcohol related crimes and minors, as well as increased both police and public education on the problem.

Idaho Law also addresses the problem.  The penalty for minor in possession is fairly harsh and Boise DUI Lawyers see it as a way to curb the problem.  However, as a Boise DUI Lawyer, I often hear from juveniles that they had no idea what the penalty for underage drinking is.

A first time conviction for minor in possession of alcohol in Idaho is a misdemeanor and carries up to a, $1,000 fine.  A second time conviction carries up to a $2,000 fine, up to 30 days in jail or both.  A third time conviction carries up to a $3,000 fine, up to 60 days in jail or both.  Boise DUI Lawyers see this as a standard penalty, but the law doesn't stop there.  It gains some teeth through the following provisions.  If you are convicted for minor possession, in addition to the fine and jail time you will have your license suspended for 1 year.  If you have previously had it suspended it pursuant to minor possession it will be a two year suspension.  Idaho Law allows for restricted privileges but you must show need by a preponderance of evidence.  Boise DUI Lawyers will tell you this is a very high standard of proof.

You might ask, what's the big deal about getting a license suspension.  The big deal is if you drive with a suspended license and you get caught you will start down the slippery slope of DWP and Boise DUI Lawyers will tell you DWP will complicate your life.

In addition to tough minor in possession laws, Idaho has tough laws for minor DUI.

Boise DUI Lawyers get a close watch on DUI statistics in Boise and in Idaho.  Although crime statistics in Idaho have dropped over the past several years, last weekend in Boise there was a spree of felony DUI arrests and felony criminal arrests.  In addition to the DUI charge, many of the felony DUI suspects were charged with additional criminal charges.

Boise DUI Lawyers and Boise Criminal Lawyers see multiple charges regularly particularly when you are dealing with an underlying felony charge like a felony DUI.  There were three felony DUI arrests in Boise last weekend.  Each suspect was also charged with an additional crime.  During the first felony DUI stop the police also found marijuana in the car, resulting in a drug charge.  The criminal charge for possession, however, was a misdemeanor because it was a very small amount of marijuana.  What made the DUI a felony DUI was it was the suspects 3rd charge for driving under the influence.  A third time DUI within five years is a felony.

The second felony DUI arrest over the weekend was an excessive DUI.  Not only did the suspect blow a .24 making it excessive but he also had two prior DUI convictions.

The third felony DUI reported by Boise police was another third time DUI.  This suspect also was charged with a probation violation.

The other two felony charges over the weekend in Boise were not DUI charges but were non the less felony criminal charges.  The first criminal charge was for burglary.  The suspect enter the store with the intent to conceal and remove property.  The other criminal felony charge was for grand theft in conjunction with stolen checks from a local business.

Boise DUI Lawyers probably cringed when they saw the small amount of bail required for a rapper stopped in Louisiana over the weekend.  Juvenile, aka Terius Gary was pulled over for driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone.  That wouldn't make a DUI lawyer flinch but what follows will.  The officer smelled marijuana and discovered that Gary was driving on a suspended licenses.  Gary was charged with simple possession and DWP, but here's the kicker - he was released on a $750 cash bond!

If you are charged with a DWP in Idaho and you have possession of marijuana, any Boise DUI Lawyer will tell you that you will not get off that easy.  DUI attorneys in Idaho regularly argue for reduction in bail for their DUI, DWP and possession clients.  Even if you aren't a flight risk, even if you have a stable job, even if you have a family with whom you actively participate, you will get a much bigger bond in Idaho for a DUI or DWP and possession. 

This Boise DUI Lawyer want to know, "how much did his ticket for speeding cost?"  Undoubtedly, a lot less in Louisiana than in Idaho.   This Boise DUI Attorney also wants to know, "what is the penalty for DWP and possession in Louisiana?"  Probably a lot less than in Idaho.  Maybe I would move to Louisiana and practice DUI law there; maybe if it weren't for the hurricanes and bugs.  On second thought - I will stay in Boise, practice DUI and criminal law here and remain a Boise DUI Lawyer.  All you Boise DUI Lawyers out there agree with me?

Boise DUI Lawyers woke up to headlines of a Felony DUI that occurred in Boise on Tuesday.  Felony DUI and an associated DWP are no laughing matter.  A second time offense and an excessive DUI indicate to judges in Idaho that the person who was driving under the influence of alcohol has a serious problem and it is in the best interest of the population at large to get these people off the street.

The dilemma for a DUI lawyer in Boise is defending the person charged with excessive DUI and preserving their rights as well as protecting the population from repeat offenders.  As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I often get comments from people asking me how I can defend a criminal.  We all have rights and we all make mistakes.  Often it is not a question of guilt, such as the person involved in the felony DUI on Tuesday.  She clearly was driving under the influence of alcohol and in an excessive amount.  What it comes down to is preserving her rights.  We have to put our selves into her shoes and ask if we would want our rights protected.  We live in a country where we are given many rights as opposed to many other countries where there are little or few personal rights.  A lawyers duty is to preserve and protect your rights and to make certain that the government or the police don't do something that is contrary to those rights.

So clearly, the excessive felony DUI charge that the woman in Boise received on Tuesday was warranted, but how can lawyers help her?  They can help her by protecting her rights, by making certain she gets a fair trial and by helping her get the help she needs so that she does not once again commit the same crime.

Boise DUI Lawyers are confronting a new type of evidence against their clients.  Facebook not only has become a social networking phenomenon but it has also become a credible source of evidence to be used against someone in a DUI or DWP case.  People routinely make facebook posts about how much they had to drink and where and when they drove or how they drove with a suspended license. 

The breathalyzer and field sobriety tests issued during a DUI stop in Idaho are often sufficient to convict someone on a DUI.  If, however, there are issues as to probable cause, that evidence can be excluded and possible reduce your DUI to something like inattentive driving.  However, if you make a post on facebook that shows that the police did have probable cause to stop you for a DUI your facebook post could be the noose around your neck.
