Crime Defined is a series where we break down the law, one crime at a time. Each episode, we start by explaining exactly what a specific crime is — what makes it illegal, how it’s defined under the law, and the consequences for those who commit it. Then, we dive into a real-life case, exploring someone who actually committed that crime, the investigation, and the impact of their actions. Our goal is to make the law understandable and the true crime unforgettable.
In this episode of our Crime Defined series, we’re breaking down DUI — Driving Under the Influence. What exactly qualifies as a DUI? How do laws vary, and what actually happens when someone is charged?
We’ll walk through the legal definition, common misconceptions, and the real-world consequences of driving under the influence. Then, as always, we’ll connect it to a real case to see how these laws play out beyond the textbook.
Whether you’re here to learn, stay informed, or better understand the justice system, this episode takes a closer look at a crime that impacts thousands of lives every year.
