Mississippi DUI Laws and What You’re Facing
Under Mississippi law, a driver may be charged with DUI if they are operating or in physical control of a vehicle while:
Having a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or
Being impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of substances
DUI charges may be based on breath or blood testing, field sobriety tests, and officer observations. Each case depends on its specific facts and how the evidence was obtained.
Mississippi Implied Consent and Chemical Testing
Mississippi operates under an implied consent law, meaning drivers are deemed to have consented to chemical testing under certain circumstances.
Refusing a breath or blood test may result in driver’s license suspension and other consequences, regardless of whether a DUI conviction ultimately occurs. A DUI defense attorney can review whether testing was lawfully requested and properly administered.
Mississippi DUI Penalties
Mississippi DUI penalties vary based on prior offenses and the facts of the case. Potential consequences may include:
Fines and court costs
Driver’s license suspension
Possible jail time
Mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs
Probation or other court-ordered conditions
Even first-time DUI charges can carry significant penalties if not handled carefully.
