In Massachusetts, Operating Under the Influence of a Drug is not similar to Massachusetts Operating under the influence of alcohol. Breathalyzer does not detect drugs. So the Massachusetts police officer does not give a breathalyzer when he suspects a case of driving with drugs in the system. He instead puts you through a battery of field sobriety tests. If the enforcement officer believes he has sufficient facts to charge, he will arrest you for operating under the influence of Drugs.

In Massachusetts, the Operating under the Influence of Drugs (OUID) will have harsh penalties similar to that of an OUI or DUI offense. An Operating under the influence of Drug (OUID) will cause a suspension of your driving license for a period of time, depending on if you had an earlier OUI conviction on your prior record.

If you have been arrested and charged with operating under influence with Drug (OUID) in Massachusetts, you are in serious legal trouble, and are facing prison time.

Police officers require those stopped for a DUI/OUI in Massachusetts to perform s battery of field sobriety tests.

If you are stopped for a DUI/OUI in Massachusetts, a police officer may have you perform a battery of field sobriety tests. There is no need to panic if you fail these tests.

  •  Dizziness
  •  Problem in balancing
  •  Fear
  •  Medical problems
  •  Age
  •  Type of footwear

  • Horizontal gaze nystagmus
  • Nine-step heel-to-toe and turn
