Was a Child With You at the Time of Your Arrest for DWI?
Under the recently enacted law, known as Leandra's Law, there are stiff penalties awaiting people who are arrested for and convicted of drunk driving with a child in the car. The law, which went into effect in December of 2009, calls for motorists to be charged with a felony if accused of DUI/DWI with children under the age of 16 in the car.
