Many people assume that a Boating Under the Influence (BUI) charge only applies if they were actively driving the boat. However, under Colorado law, that is not always the case.

If you are seated at the helm, or if you are directing others who are operating the boat, law enforcement could argue that you are in operation or control of the vessel, and you could be charged with BUI. You can also be charged with BUI when a boat is anchored or drifting with the engine off.

The experienced Silverthorne BUI lawyers at Whitaker & Penix, LLC understand the nuances of Colorado boating law. If you are facing allegations tied to boating activity, understanding how these laws work and how they can be effectively challenged could make a big difference in how your case is resolved

With recreational ma*****na now legal in Colorado, many residents and visitors aren’t fully aware of the possible legal consequences for driving after using cannabis. But law enforcement agencies in Summit County and across the state take drugged driving seriously. THC-related DUIs carry penalties that are just as severe as DUIs for drunk driving.

Colorado has established strict legal standards for THC levels in the bloodstream, but proving impairment is not always straightforward. In fact, the science behind cannabis impairment and how it affects drivers is hotly debated, especially when it comes to drug test reliability.

The experienced Breckenridge ma*****na defense attorneys at Whitaker & Penix, LLC have the local courtroom experience and technical knowledge to challenge flawed testing and fight unfair charges.
