Drugs and DUI Arrests in Burbank, California

Driving while under the influence of a drug or any controlled substance is a very serious criminal offense. A person can be charged with DUI involving drugs, legally referred to as DUID (driving under the influence of drugs).

When law enforcement stops a driver that they suspect to be under the influence of drugs they will ask him or her to perform a field sobriety test, breathalyzer test, blood test or a urine test to find out what type of drug they may have consumed, inhaled, smoked or injected and if they are indeed under the influence.

Law enforcement will also be on the lookout for the following signs of drug intoxication: profuse sweating, nervousness, anxiety, an increase or decrease in pupil size, rapid speaking, slurred speech, inability to speak, twitching, fast movements, aggressive behavior; in addition to other notable signs and symptoms of being under the influence of drugs.
