Underage Consumption And Ohio’s College Students: Know Your Rights

Posted by Dayton DUI

in Ohio Criminal Law

Being charged with "underage consumption" is a common occurrence on Ohio college campuses. The crime of underage consumption is a violation of Ohio Revised Code, which prohibits possessing, consuming or being under the influence of alcohol under the age of 21.

Students sometimes mistakenly believe that an officer must give them a breathalyzer test to "prove" intoxication. This is not the law.

Posted by Dayton DUI

in DUI Law, DUI Process

Ohio Courts are slowly fixing the Intoxilyzer 8000 implementation issues and (surprise!) they are not resolving the issues in favor of the accused.In State v. McMahon, 2013-Ohio-2557, the implementation of the Intoxilyzer 8000 was challenged due to confusion in the Ohio Administrative Code sections dealing with "operators." It was alleged that the Ohio Department of Health failed to establish qualifications for issuing permits for Intoxilyzer 8000 operators as required by R.C. 4511.19 and 3701.143. The court ruled that R.C. 3701.143 authorizes the director of health to issue permits to breath-alcohol machine operators, and we found the ODH’s position that an...
