Police in communities throughout San Mateo County are strict about enforcing open container laws. Any evidence of an open bottle at the scene of a traffic stop often results in a misdemeanor enhancement to a DUI charge.
San Mateo Open Container DUI Lawyer
At The Law Offices of Michael L. Davidson, we challenge DUI enhancements such as open container laws. We start by challenging the police's probable cause for the traffic stop and violations of your rights against illegal search and seizure. We know the stakes are high when you are facing a DUI charge. Unsubstantiated enhancements put your freedom and your future in further danger.
Implied consent does not mean the police and authorities have the right to search your car and illegally seize property in violation of your civil rights.
Our attorneys are recognized among the San Francisco Bay Area's leading DUI defense law firms. Call first if you have been charged with DUI and other related charges, including:
- Driving with an open container of alcohol
- Driving while under the influence of drugs, drug possession
- Wet reckless driving
- DUI accidents
- DUI manslaughter, vehicular assault, vehicular homicide
- Juvenile DUI, alcohol in possession of a minor, under 21 DUI
- Child endangerment, DUI with a minor-age passenger
Protecting Your Driver's License
After a DUI charge, including enhancements such as driving with an open container, you face the automatic suspension of your driver's license. You have just 10 days to schedule a hearing at your local DMV office to plead for a DL restoration in front of administrative law judge. This hearing is also your first opportunity to present evidence that challenges the police record and any violation of your rights. We are experienced DUI defense lawyers. Put our experience to work for you. We can help you save your driver's license.
