Happy Mothers day. I got up early and came across an article about a DUI that has aggrvating circumstances. It was a good topic to discuss.
Not all San Diego DUIs are equal.
There is alot of people who just see their BAC number and assume the punishment is set. I have heard some people come in and say, “my BAC is .24%. I heard my friend say I am set to pick up trash for aa few days”. In some cases the BAC number is the defining record. However, in the case above the person had hit multiple vehicles and was belligerent to police. I informed her picking up trash a few days with those facts might be a tall order. They could not get over the fact that their BAC was the same as the other person.
There are other factors that can elevate the sanctions in a San Diego DUI. These include:
– Criminal and/or driving history
-A High Blood Alcohol Level (most common aggrevating fact)
-Cooperation with officers
-What was the driving?
-Was there an accident?
– Did they endanger other people?
– Was there children in the car?
Some facts (such as children in the car) come with mandatory enhancemments. It is key to obtain all the aggrevating and mitigating factors in the case. It is a major difference in what sanctions there will be and potentially thousands of dollars in DUI tools such as the interlock device, ankle monitors, etc.

Here is the article that illustrates an aggravated DUI driving under the influence case.
A Northern California man suspected of driving under the influence spat at police officers when he was being taken into custody Monday evening, according to the Elk Grove Police Department.
Investigators say they found 54-year-old John Chandler off Elk Grove Boulevard near Black Swan Drive behind the wheel with the engine running. Chandler showed signs of impairment, police said.
As officers took Chandler into custody, officials say he resisted and even tried to spit on officers.
Chandler’s booking photo shows him bloodied and wide-eyed with his tongue sticking out.
KTXL later learned Chandler is a teacher at Martin Luther King, Jr. K-8 School in Sacramento’s Pocket neighborhood.
Sacramento City Unified School District spokesman Alex Barrios confirmed Chandler’s employment at the school:
“Personnel matters are confidential. We are not at liberty to discuss them publicly. However, the district is treating this situation with the seriousness it deserves. We are listening and sympathetic to the concerns of parents and are working to address those concerns.”
