DUI law changes

You are thinking of the holidays and the joy of the season. Well effeective January 1 at 12:01 A.M there are a ot of changes to DUI in TN. If you have had a prior DUI in the last 10 years you will be denied bail and sit in jail 2-5 days on a misdemeanor (you get bond for murder), If you refuse to take the test the government will try to take your license within 30-45 days rather than letting you have a complete hearing on your whole case. Depeding on the facts of your DUI you may have to have interlock on your vehicle to drive and also there may be mandatory notice to your employer. While I do not condone drinking and driving it seems that more and more rights of citizens are being taken away for a misdemeanor charge. There will be interesting litigation in this next year.
