Under New York DUI/DWI law, you have rights that govern the instances in which you can be pulled over. However, if you are legally pulled over and a police office has reason to believe that you are driving under the influence, then he or she can administer field sobriety tests to collect evidence of your impairment. You will be arrested if your blood alcohol content (BAC) level is .08 or higher. If you are arrested, you may be fingerprinted and asked to take additional tests to determine your BAC level. You will likely be held in jail overnight, and you may have to post bond before you will be released.
Under New York law, you may be convicted and required to pay fines and serve jail time even if your BAC level is only between .05 and .07. Maximum fines and jail sentences are levied to those whose BAC levels are at or over .18 or who have previous drunk driving convictions. Drivers under 21 can lose their licenses if their BAC levels are measured at .02 or higher.

After the arraignment and the other stages before your trial, your DUI case will go to court. If a jury finds you guilty of driving under the influence, the consequences can be costly. You will be required to pay substantial fines and will likely have your driver's license suspended or revoked. You will have a permanent criminal record and may be placed on probation. You may even have to serve a jail sentence. A judge may also require you to participate in DUI alcohol treatment programs.
