A federal crime is any criminal act that occurs while on federal property. Federal property includes national parks, courthouses, airports, and government buildings. If a person commits a crime while on federal property, he/she can be charged with a federal offense.
One common federal offense that is frequently committed on federal property is driving under the influence. There are some instances where people will drive through parks or around government property while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. They may not be aware that they are on federal property and committing a federal offense. However, according to federal law, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or both. It is also illegal to operate a motor vehicle on federal property with a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of 0.08% or higher.
Federal DUI crimes are taken very seriously by law enforcement. All federal DUI charges are prosecuted to the fullest extent. If a person is charged with a federal DUI, he/she needs to be aware that the legal consequences involved are very harsh. Once a person is convicted of a federal DUI, he/she may be punished with jail time, monetary fines, probation, DUI School, and community service. A convicted DUI offender may also have his/her driver’s license suspended. For these reasons, it is always in a person’s best interest to obtain the services of an attorney who is knowledgeable of federal DUI law.
