How to beat your Colorado DUI arrest (Part 1)

If you choose to drink and drive, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet. But there are times where the arresting officer is sloppy, your civil rights were violated or any host of other things that could either reduce your DUI charge, or get it thrown out altogether. Remember if you don't have $10,000 to cover your DUI, get a taxi. But chances are if you're reading this, you're post-planning and not pre-planning, so here's how to beat the wrap.

How much will your first DUI cost you?

This question depends on a few different factors. Let's say you were pulled over right after leaving a bar after having a few too many beers. After you're done paying lawyer fees, court costs, license fees, probation fees and raised insurance rates, you can expect to fork over about $10,000. Ten thousand dollars for one night of fun, hardly worth that extra beer. And you might also lose your job, have trouble finding new work and much more that can put you in a financial strain.

How to get an easy DUI charge


Also known as, why you have to be smart, even when you're under the influence of alcohol. The daughter of the late owner of the Washington Redskins was arrested for DUI outside a bar this weekend. But this is a situation that could have been (more than) easily avoided, and it's a good lesson to remember when you're drinking. Stay smart.

Jacqueline and her friend got into her car when police officers pulled up and asked if they were going to drive home. They said "not right now", and the cops told them to get a cab home. The cops sat, waited and watched them for a while. A while later, Jacqueline started yelling at the cops, and said "You can watch us all night, we're driving that car home no matter what you say". WRONG!

You don't boss police officers around, no matter how right you think (or know) you are. Especially when you're drunk. As soon as Jacqueline started her engine, the cops arrested her for DUI.

This probably seems like common sense to most of us, but when you're drinking you think and act different that when you're sober. If a police officer is ever nice enough to tell you to get a cab home, get a cab home that second and pickup your car in the morning. Even if it gets towed, you'll only pay a couple hundred dollars max to get it back. A DUI will cost you close to $10,000. Just think about it.
