Arizona DUI Laws

Arizona laws are tougher than many other states, making it difficult to get away from a DUI charge.

Under state law you can be arrested for a DUI even if you have had just one drink, and even if you are not legally intoxicated. While in most states you are arrested for a DUI based on your blood-alcohol content; in Arizona, there are two laws that allow officers to charge you even if your BAC does not exceed 0.08. If you are seen driving erratically or if you had been driving a car two hours prior to being discovered with a BAC that exceeds the state limit, you can be arrested for a DUI.

Laws like these aim to take into account that everyone absorbs alcohol differently. If you are found to be "impaired to the slightest degree," you could find yourself behind bars.
