There are two distinct actions that are initiated following an arrest for driving under the influence in Mission Viejo. The first is a civil procedure through the Department of Motor Vehicles. The California DMV has the right to suspend your license based solely off of an arrest for a DUI. This hearing is completely independent of the criminal court procedure. It is important to take both procedures into consideration as different defenses arise in each unique action. For instance at the DMV hearing, the hearing officer will only take into considerations a limited number of issues such as whether you were driving with a BAC of over .08%, there was probable cause for the arrest and whether there was probable cause for the stop. |
