Atlanta DUI Drug cases for prescription medicines

In Atlanta, most DUI cases concern drunk driving. However, a good portion of Atlanta DUI offenses concern DUI charges for driving under the influence of drugs. When an officer suspects a driver of DUI, even if they have not had a sip of alcohol, he can request the driver submit to a blood test and then have the state lab analyze the results. Of course illegal drugs showing up in your system like marijuana or cocaine will trigger the Atlanta prosecuting attorneys to seek a conviction for DUI drugs. However, more and more people are getting charged with DUI drugs for having nothing but their prescription medications in their systems. Even over the counter medicines - like flu pills or cough syrup, can lead to a DUI arrest and possible conviction.

The Atlanta prosecuting attorney will make the argument that the driver was less safe to drive due to being under the influence of some medication. The officer will detail how he or she believed your driving to be impaired.
