In Massachusetts, driving under the influence or operating under the influence (DUI/DWI/OUI) is a very serious charge and can hold stiff penalties if one is found guilty and convicted. In fact, the state has passed legislature which is designed to make it tougher for drunken driving (DWI, DUI, OUI) offenders and increases penalties for those who are caught drinking and driving in Massachusetts. Remember, if you don't do field sobriety tests and refuse the breathalyzer, there is very little evidence that can be used against you.
If convicted for driving under the influence you can face serious consequences not only from the courts but also from the registry of motor vehicles as well. These consequences among other penalties can include license suspension, expensive fines, and possible jail sentence.
In addition to stiffer penalties for driving under the influence, the state has also invested a large sum of resources to make it more difficult for OUI offenders in Massachusetts. The state has prosecutors, law officers, professional witnesses, and collected evidence such as officer reports, breath analysis, medical records, audio, and video which they will try to compile and use in court to assure conviction.
