Federal DUI Ticket In Virginia Lawyers Driving Influence Violent Felonies
If you have been
charged with DUI / DWI which took place on a road owned by the Federal
government, National Park Service land, place on federally owned property,
including military bases or other government-owned lands or roads, such as the
GW Parkway and the Pentagon parking lot then you will be prosecuted in a
Federal court.
Under 36 CFR 4.23
Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
"(a) Operating or being in actual physical control
of a motor vehicle is prohibited while:
(1)
Under the influence of alcohol, or a drug, or drugs, or any combination
thereof, to a degree that renders the operator incapable of safe operation; or
(2)
The alcohol concentration in the operator's blood or breath is 0.08
grams or more of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or 0.08 grams or more of
alcohol per 210 liters of breath. Provided however, that if State law that
applies to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol
establishes more restrictive limits of alcohol concentration in the operator's
blood or breath, those limits supersede the limits specified in this
paragraph."

Powell v. United
States
Facts:
The United States
Court of Appeals upheld a determination that defendant's traffic ticket for prior
driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) convictions were "violent
felonies" as 18 U.S.C.S. § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) of the Armed Career Criminal
Act defined it. On defendant's petition, certiorari was granted.

Holdings:
The Federal Court
made the following holding:
- Driving under the
influence of alcohol differs from 18 U.S.C.S. § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii)'s example
crimes -- burglary, arson, extortion, and crimes involving the use of
explosives -- in at least one pertinent, and important, respect. The
listed crimes all typically involve purposeful, "violent," and
"aggressive" conduct. That conduct is such that it makes more
likely that an offender, later possessing a gun, will use that gun
deliberately to harm a victim. Crimes committed in such a purposeful,
violent, and aggressive manner are potentially more dangerous when
firearms are involved. And such crimes are characteristic of the armed
career criminal, the eponym of the statute.
