BUI - Operating a boat under the influence
BUI is very similar to DUI, it just occurs when you are on a boat or other water vessel. The penalties for BUI are also similar. If you are convicted of BUI you face the suspension of your boat operator privileges as well as the other punishment options for misdemeanor offenses, such as up to 12 months in jail, fines, fees, community service and other probation conditions. If you are charged with BUI, you need an experienced BUI attorney on your side and fighting for your rights.
BUI it is a DUI on the lake
Logan Butler is a criminal defense lawyer who is skilled at handling BUI cases. The analysis of a BUI case is very similar to a DUI case. In conducting a BUI investigation, law enforcement officers will conduct many, if not all, of the same tests they would conduct during a DUI investigation. Likewise, failure to submit to the State requested breath or blood test for BUI could result in your boating privileges being suspended, much like the administrative license suspension if you were to refuse certain tests during a DUI investigation.
