The law enforcement agencies in Ventura arrest many people on mere suspicion of DUI, and the Ventura County District Attorney&#8217;s Office prosecutes cases that would never even get filed in other counties. As a result, if you are facing <a href=\"\/dui\/first-time\/employment-immigration-consequences\/\">Ventura DUI<\/a> charges, you need to hire a local and experienced DUI defense attorney who can help fight your case and protect your legal rights.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6763\" src=\"https:\/\/davidlehrlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_13243187-min-300x200.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_13243187-min-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_13243187-min-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_13243187-min-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_13243187-min-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/AdobeStock_13243187-min-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" alt=\"DUI Arrest Process\" width=\"854\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p><p>The <a href=\"\/dui\/basics\/\">DUI<\/a> arrest process in Ventura County starts like any other traffic stop. From there, however, you will face a trying series of events before you ever get the chance to tell your side of the story.<\/p><h2>THE VENTURA DUI ARREST PROCESS<\/h2><h3>THE TRAFFIC STOP<\/h3><p>Most Ventura DUI arrests begin with a routine traffic stop. You may be pulled over on suspicion of DUI, or you may be pulled over for speeding, running a red light or any other traffic violation. Regardless of the reason for your traffic stop, <a href=\"\/dui\/first-time\/probable-cause-reasonable-suspicion\/\">if the police have probable cause to do so<\/a>, they can arrest you for DUI.<\/p><h3>FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS (FSTS) AND CHEMICAL BAC TESTS<\/h3><p>Following your traffic stop, probable cause may be established through administration of one or a series of <a href=\"\/dui\/first-time\/field-sobriety-tests-chemical-testing-breath-or-blood\/\">standardized field sobriety tests (FSTs)<\/a>. The officers who stop you must adequately explain and demonstrate the tests before they perform them, and you are NOT required to submit to the tests if you choose not to do so. Read more about your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/first-time-dui\/your-dui-rights\/\">DUI rights in California<\/a>.<\/p><p>If you fail the FSTs or refuse to take them, the officers may then require you to take a chemical test to determine your BAC. This can be done through a breath test at the scene of the arrest, or through a blood test administered at a local Ventura hospital.<\/p><h3>GOING TO JAIL<\/h3><p>Most people are not ready for what comes next. In Ventura, nearly all DUI arrests \u2013 including those for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/high-profile-duis\/\">high profile DUIs<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 result in the suspect being transported to the Ventura County Main Jail at the Government Center on Victoria Avenue. How long you will be held will depend on:<\/p><ul><li>On what day of the week and at what time you were arrested;<\/li><li>How busy the jail is; and<\/li><li>Whether your arrest was for a <a href=\"\/dui\/first-time\/misdemeanor-vs-felony-dui\/\">felony or misdemeanor DUI<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul><p>On most misdemeanor DUIs suspects are released on their own recognizance. But, occasionally you will be required to post bail, usually in the amount of $5000.<\/p><h3>WHAT&#8217;S NEXT IN MY VENTURA DUI CASE?<\/h3><p>Once you get home from jail, you will receive numerous letters from attorneys \u2013 including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/strongestdefense.com\/\">Strongest Defense<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 offering representation in your upcoming Ventura DUI case.
