Why Drugged Driving Charges in Will County Require a Strong Legal Defense
Illinois has seen a significant rise in drugged driving arrests, especially since the legalization of cannabis in 2020. Police in Will County, including Joliet, Plainfield, and Bolingbrook, are focusing heavily on drugged driving enforcement, leading to more arrests and DUI prosecutions.
Unlike alcohol-related DUIs, where breath tests provide immediate results, drug-related DUIs rely on subjective assessments and chemical testing, both of which can be unreliable. Many drivers falsely accused of drugged driving are not impaired but are wrongfully charged based on flawed testing procedures or officer bias.
