Nevada “Boating under the Influence” (BUI) Laws
www.shouselaw.com 702-DEFENSE Las Vegas DUI / BUI lawyers explain Nevada’s ‘Boating Under the Influence’ laws, penalties & defenses. Drunk boating in Nevada is treated similarly to drunk driving. As long as no one gets hurt it’s usually a misdemeanor . . . otherwise it can be a serious felony with lengthy prison sentences. Whether your BUI was in Lake Mead, Lake Tahoe or elsewhere in the state, our Las Vegas criminal defense lawyers will draw on their decades of experience to ensure that your case gets resolved as favorably as possible. The legal definition of boating under the influence in Nevada is “to operate or be in actual physical control of a vessel under power or sale on the waters of this State” while being either drunk, high, or having a BAC of at least 0.08. Similar to Las Vegas DUI laws, anyone with a BAC of 0.08 or more may be arrested for violating “boating under the influence in Nevada” laws irrespective of whether they were driving the vessel safely and under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Also similar to Nevada drunk driving laws, anyone suspected of BUI is required to submit to a chemical test. If you’ve been arrested for boating under the influence in Nevada, call our Las Vegas DUI defense attorneys at 702-DEFENSE (702-333-3673) for a free meeting. Our mission is to try to get your BUI charges reduced or dismissed as quickly as possible.
