Information About a DUI Arrest in Rolling Hills Estates
The state of California uses harsh regulations to prosecute DUIs. You may get charged with a DUI if your blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeds the legal limits set by the state. The state does not use the same BAC level for everyone. For example, you may need to keep your BAC under:
- 0.08% if you are a non-commercial driver over 21
- 0.04% if you are a commercial driver over 21
- 0.01% if you are a driver under 21
Police officers may also arrest you for a DUI if they believe you are operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs. Officers may perform tests before making an arrest. They might expect you to complete field sobriety tests or even BAC testing.
Note that failure to comply with a legally ordered BAC test could result in the suspension of your driver’s license. Make sure that you complete any tests if you are under 21, on DUI probation, or if you’ve been legally arrested.

Take Rolling Hills Estates DUI Charges Seriously
DUIs in Rolling Hills Estates may severely impact your life and your future. The prosecution could treat DUIs as either misdemeanors or felonies. This means that a conviction could result in incarceration, fines, and a lengthy period of probation.
You could also face restrictions on your driver’s license after a DUI conviction. California recently adopted a statewide ignition interlock device (IID) program. This program requires you to install an IID on your vehicle after several DUI convictions.
For example, you might need to use an IID for six months after a first DUI conviction. You would have to use the IID like a breathalyzer each time you tried to start your car. The IID could prevent you from driving if you had an elevated BAC.
Additionally, all DUIs in California are priorable. They remain on your record and work against you if you face subsequent DUI charges.
