In Massachusetts drunk driving law punishes those drive under the influence of marijuana, narcotics, depressants, or stimulants as defined by the Massachusetts drug law, or glue vapors. As with alcohol, the prosecution must prove that the driver had a “a diminished capacity to operate safely,” because of drugs. As compared to DUI alcohol, not many DUI drugs arrests are made in Massachusetts. One reason for this is that there are few Massachusetts police officers who are certified as Drug Recognition Experts. Without this training, the officer's qualifications and opinons can be successfully challenged and blocked from admission. DUI Lawyer Paul Watkins is a former police officer who has been trained, tested, and certified as a Drug Recognition Expert. Put his knowledge and experience to work for you. Imagine having a defense lawyer who has more specialized training than the arresting officer? Contact Attorney Watkins today regarding your Massachusetts DUI drugs case.
The penalties and Mass. RMV License Suspensions for DUI drugs are the same as DUI alcohol and the trial procedures are also the same. However, for a variety of reasons, such as the lack of breathalyzer evidence, a DUI Drugs case can be easier to win than a DUI alcohol case.
