Hunterdon County Legal Defense News: Clinton Twp. Police Arrest Occupant of Vehicle for Drug Possession
Many drivers have little idea how easily it is to be stopped by police here in the Garden State. The fact is, even the most minor traffic violation can open the door to a police stop that may or may not escalate into a drunken driving arrest or summons for drug possession. Whether one operates a motor vehicle in Middlesex, Ocean, Passaic or Bergen County, the odds of being charged with DWI or drug DUI is higher during times of increased police patrols, such as during the New Year holidays.
As New Jersey drunk driving defense lawyers, I and my team of experienced DWI attorneys have years of experience in representing motorists accused of driving while intoxicated; operating a vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance such as marijuana or cocaine; or any of the many other alcohol and drug-related traffic violations, such as breath test refusal, underage drinking and driving, and repeat DWI offenses.
The legal penalties for individuals convicted of alcohol and drug DUI traffic offenses can be quite stiff, making it crucial that one consult a qualified drunken driving defense attorney before heading into court. Whether you want to fight the charges or not, it is always a good idea to understand your options when one's license and hard-earned savings are on the line.
