Legal Question in DUI Law in Georgia

determines license suspension

The Georgia Department of Driver Services has the right to suspend or revoke your drivers license while the criminal charges are pending if you took a breath test and the results are above the legal limit for your class of license, or if you refused to take a test at the officer�s request.

An Administrative Law Judge will decide whether the police officer had a legal right to stop you and a legal right to arrest you. If you took a test, the ALJ will also determine whether your test for alcohol content was legally above the limit. If you refused a test, the ALJ will determine if you in fact refused, or whether you were justified in refusing to take a test. If the evidence supports the arrest and evidence against you, your license will be suspended.
