Super Extreme Arizona DUI Law Being Challenged In Court

The new super extreme Arizona DUI Law, which went into effect September, 2007, requires a person with a BAC above a .20 percent to serve a minimum of 45 days in jail, pay increased fines and install an ignition interlock device for 18 months. This law is currently being challenged by defense attorneys arguing that the laws are unconstitutionally, "vague and ambiguous." The argument claims the statute does not specify at what time the individual's alcohol content must exceed .20 percent. The regular extreme DUI law makes it illegal for a person to have a blood-alcohol content of .15 percent or more within two hours of driving a motor vehicle.
