What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA.
Recently arrested for a suspicion of a dui. I was pulled over for speeding but then went though sobriety tests. I blew a .086 on the side of the road with CHP, no priors or any sort of record in past. I elected to have a blood test at local hospital as I thought that it might take longer to get there to do test and in so doing that I might get a lower reading. In retrospect, I forgot that I had been at a party where I had smoked some pot about 35 days earlier. Only time that I had used that stuff in years. Anyways, will this possibly show up on blood test that they conducted and if so what is % or amount that you need to be considered impaired? Arresting officer searched car and never suspected any sort of drug use beyond the alcohol.
In addition if blood test comes back lower than .08 is this the only way to get a lighter sentence or plea of wet and reckless? I have spoken with a few local lawyers and some said that in my county, even with being so close to the limit my only real good chance at reduced plea bargain is with lower bac blood test reading. Please let me know what you think?
thanks!
