Q: Why am I considered guilty for a DUI with no breathalyser did blood work no results for 2 weeks... I had to pay $$$
Why am I guilty until proven innocent
A: The system might seem like you are guilty until proven innocent, but that is not the way it is supposed to work. The police are likely saying that they saw evidence of intoxication or impairment. It is unfortunate that you had to spend money, but if a blood test was taken, and you don't have any alcohol or drugs in your system, the DA will need to dismiss the charges.
