Ithaca DWI lawyer explains: DWAI alcohol vs. DWAI Drug charges



DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DWAI Alcohol vs.  DWAI DRUG charges in Ithaca 
(and New York)

in this video, Attorney Mike Cyr of Ithaca DWI: Defense Attorneys explains the difference between DWAI alcohol charges versus DWAI Drug charges... 

"DWAI" stands for Driving While Ability Impaired. 

Key points from the video: 

1.  DWAI alcohol is merely a VIOLATION (not a crime) --but DWAI Drug is a MISDEMANOR 

2.  The Punishment for DWAI alcohol is up to 15 days in jail...while the punishment for DWAI drugs is up to 1 YEAR IN JAIL! 

3.  In a DWAI drugs case (and not in an alcohol charge), the Prosecutor may use a highly trained drug expert against you.
