Скачать или смотреть What’s the Difference Between DUI and DWI in California? | DUI Law Explained

What’s the difference between DUI and DWI in the state of California? In California, DUI and DWI generally refer to the same type of offense—driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs. California law primarily uses the term DUI (Driving Under the Influence), especially in Southern California, including San Bernardino County.

In this video, we explain:
• DUI vs DWI terminology in California
• Why California uses “DUI” instead of “DWI”
• How other states use DWI differently
• DUI involving alcohol vs drugs
• Why the investigation method matters
• Probable cause issues in DUI arrests

Regardless of whether it’s called DUI or DWI, the charge means law enforcement believes you were driving while impaired or with a BAC of 0.08% or higher. How the officer conducted the stop, investigation, field sobriety tests, and arrest is critical—especially in drug-related DUI cases.

At Shaw 3 Law Firm, we investigate DUI cases from start to finish, including whether the stop was lawful, whether the investigation was done correctly, and whether probable cause existed.
