When you commit DUI, even if you are not from the State of Nevada, know that harsh consequences could be imposed on you. Learn how to defend yourself on this presentation!
2. When you are not a resident of the city, know that driving while intoxicated with alcohol and
prohibited substances can get you penalized for the same DUI charges as a resident would
receive and it would be even more complicated due to your residential status.
Let’s learn more about being arrested and eventually convicted of out-of-state DUI with this
article to help whatever predicament you are facing now.
3. DUI CONSTITUTIONS FOR ALL
When a police officer suspects you
of DUI, you will be asked to pull
over to determine if you have
exceeded the blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) limit.
Be reminded that just like the other
states in America, Las Vegas adopts
the 0.08 BAC limit for the usual DUI
case.
If you are from Las Vegas and you
happened to be caught driving
under the influence in another state,
you will also be investigated by a
police officer and will get arrested if
you are proven drunk by the
performed tests.
