What is OWI, and how does the firm describe it?

OWI stands for operating while intoxicated, a term the firm uses alongside OVWI and DUI for drunk-driving and drugged-driving charges[1]. Wikidata describes driving under the influence of alcohol as operating a motor vehicle while drunk[2].

What does the firm say about the offense?

The firm says Indiana law uses a .08 blood alcohol content limit, that to prove even a simple operating-while-intoxicated charge the State must show the defendant operated a vehicle and was intoxicated, and that the terms “operate,” “vehicle” and “intoxicated” are defined by law and debated by lawyers and judges[1]. It cites Indiana Code section 9-13-2-117.5 for the definition of “operate”[1]. This wiki has not checked the statute or the firm’s summary.

What issues does the firm say can come up?

The firm lists questions such as whether police had the right to pull the vehicle over, whether they had the right to demand a breath test and whether field sobriety tests were performed according to federal traffic-safety guidelines[1]. It frames these as questions an attorney examines, not as predictions about any case.

The firm says Victoria Martz received extensive training through the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office on prosecuting operating-while-intoxicated cases[3].

How does a person ask the firm about an OWI charge?
