If you are charged with DUI in a county that offers to reduce DUI charges to “wet reckless” you may be able to get your case reduced. A consultation with a lawyer can help you determine if a “wet reckless” is a possible outcome. Often, a District Attorney will reduce a DUI to a “wet reckless” when there are no complications and the blood alcohol concentration is .10 or less, if there are other evidentiary issues a District Attorney may also elect to reduce the DUI charges to “wet reckless.”
Evidentiary issues may arise from failures of law enforcement to comply with relevant constitutional standards during the initial stop and/or arrest, failure to comply with commonly accepted scientific standards for breath, blood or urine sample collection, problems with the accuracy or maintenance of the equipment used to collect and/or measure the sample, or other issue relating to the available defenses in your case. Again, you need to contact a DUI lawyer in your area to discuss your case and whether or not a “wet reckless” is a possible reduction from your DUI.
