Asked on Mar 18th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Washington
More details to this question:
I was recently charged with an agg DWI in November 2012. Along with many other questionable actions all the way through the process by the police department. I was wondering if you are considered to be mentally able to stand court proceedings of any kind when believed to be under the influence of alcohol or if I should have been detained until my BAC was below the legal limit of intoxication and then had my arraignment when I was in a clear state of mind don’t think that anyone has the decision making ability to make an informed and competent decision with regards to defense and how to plea when you had a BAC of .24 just moments before the proceedings?

It certainly would be a reason to set aside any decisions that were made that day.

You need to hire a DUI specialist, because you seem completely lost.

You should be in a coherent state when being arraigned, but that really wouldn't do anything with your case other than delay it. That is a serious charge with a lot at stake so it would be a good idea to invest in an experienced DUI attorney in your area.

You need to have or get an attorney and those concerns can be addressed immediately with the court.
