The laws concerning OVI/DUI in the state of Ohio can be found in the Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.19. Your municipality could also have additional laws against drunk driving. This law states that it is illegal to operate any sort of motorized vehicle while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. The law spells out the legal limit of blood alcohol content (BAC) in blood, whole blood, urine, and plasma.
If you are stopped by a police officer whether in a routine traffic stop or at a DUI checkpoint and the officer has reason to believe you might be under the influence, he or she may ask you to complete certain standard field sobriety tests. Alex Deardorff and Tad Brittingham are experienced OVI and DUI attorneys in the Cincinnati area, including City of Hamilton, City of Mason, and Westchester Township.
