Illinois DUI will also be labeled DUI, drunk driving, or driving under the influence. DUI arrests in IL results in 2 separate individual cases: the criminal case, which the consequence might include jail, fines, a suspended driver's license, required alcohol instruction courses, and more. A DUI arrest will also trigger an administrative driver's license suspension that can only be challenged with a timely request for a hearing. This is just one of the reasons it is so crucial to get in touch with a DUI attorney immediately.
While this may appear as if there is double-punishment for one offense (a violation of the Double Jeopardy clause of the Constitution), the IL Supreme Court decided that a summary suspension of a driver's license is not considered punishment under the criminal law and as a result does not offend the double jeopardy clauses of the Illinois or U.S. Constitutions.
