Griffis, we handle criminal and appellate cases. Massachusetts defines OUI as a crime. OUI is not limited to alcohol consumption. You can face OUI charges even if you are driving a car after consuming marijuana. The law does not require that you must be driving erratically for you to be arrested and charged with OUI. The law simply requires that your judgment is impaired and your ability to drive has been affected. This occurs when you are unable to drive properly. The legal definition of OUI in Massachusetts is driving a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, drugs, or both. Drugs can be illegal narcotics or any substance, inhaled or otherwise, that may impair you. Usage of any drug, whether obtained by prescription or not, can affect your ability to drive and lead to an OUI. Moreover, the term "operating" is not limited to driving or sitting in the driver's seat. Even if you were not driving at all, you could still be charged with OUI. To operate a vehicle in Massachusetts means you are actively controlling the relevant machinery. You could be manipulating any electric or mechanical device capable of setting the car in motion. Your car is "operating" the motor if the ignition is in a state ready to make the car move. Let's imagine you were sitting without the vehicle in any gear, but key in the ignition, the AC on. You could still be considered OUI. This is why it is so important to contact a criminal defense attorney if you are facing charges of OUI or a similar crime.
