South Carolina BUI Lawyer
Charleston, South Carolina, is a beautiful coastal city. For many people, one of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty is with a day out on a boat with drinks. They fail to realize that waterways are patrolled frequently for drinking boaters. While drinking on a boat is not illegal for an adult, operating a boat while impaired is a crime.
The problem is that someone who has consumed a minimal amount of alcohol on a boat will be unsteady while trying to balance on land. Those balance problems are often the basis for the arrest of a boater with an odor of alcohol. Sadly, any boater charged with boating under the influence can suffer criminal penalties and consequences, including fines, potential jail time and loss of boating privileges.
