Traffic Charges and the Criminal Justice System

Although speeding tickets, driving through stop signs and a variety of other traffic charges do not involve the criminal justice system, several other auto violations are deemed criminal offenses. The most obvious example of this is driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. DUI or DWI charges may result in large fines, license revocation, required participation in drug and alcohol programs, or time behind bars. Sadly, DUI charges are sometimes accompanied by vehicular manslaughter, which involves the death of an innocent individual due to the driver’s negligence.

In addition to crimes involving drug use or vehicular negligence, the practice area of auto-related criminal defense can also involve the actual stealing of a vehicle. Often referred to as “grand theft auto”, this crime is typically charged as a felony and can carry significant penalties, including prison time. Grand theft auto charges are often accompanied by burglary charges, which take place if the person who stole the car broke into it first. If the vehicle is believed to have been taken by force or with the use of a weapon, the crime may be referred to as carjacking.
