There are several different types
of operating under the influence charges
00:00:12.029 --> 00:00:14.119
that someone can be cited for.
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:18.485
It starts with the basics, operating
while under the influence of alcohol.
00:00:18.486 --> 00:00:22.371
That's the most typical common one
that people are most familiar with.
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.771
That has to do with an individual
who's driving while just as it sounds,
00:00:27.772 --> 00:00:30.300
they're impaired by alcohol.
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.556
Then there's additional citations
00:00:33.557 --> 00:00:36.329
for operating
with a prohibited alcohol concentration.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.214
For people who don't have prior offenses
00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:42.600
or aren't under ignition interlock
device orders
00:00:43.029 --> 00:00:45.929
or aren't on an occupational license,
00:00:46.413 --> 00:00:51.171
typically, their prohibited
alcohol concentration is 0.08.
00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:55.299
However, individuals who have two
or more prior convictions
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:56.886
in the state of Wisconsin
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.800
or individuals who are currently serving
a revocation
00:01:01.986 --> 00:01:04.339
and forced to be
on an occupational license
00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:07.357
or under an ignition interlock
device order at the time,
00:01:07.729 --> 00:01:13.100
those individuals have a prohibited
alcohol concentration of 0.02.
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:16.999
They can be charged with the charge
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.643
of operating with a prohibited
alcohol concentration
00:01:19.644 --> 00:01:23.299
at a lower level
than what's considered to be
00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:26.743
your otherwise more run-of-the-mill
0.08 case.
