LAUGH IT OFF
With summer in the air and the Fourth of July in full swing this month, boating on the lake is a popular way to spend the afternoon in Georgia. While you’re out on the boat having a great time, the last thing you want is to wind up with a boating under the influence (BUI) charge. That’s why it’s imperative you understand Georgia’s BUI laws and take the necessary steps to avoid a BUI charge. In the state of Georgia, law enforcement doesn’t need any reason to stop a boat or vessel traveling on a public waterway, and boat safety checks are permitted and common. If, during one of these checks, a police officer observes any signs of alcohol impairment or drug use, you may be detained for further investigation. According to section 52-7-12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA), it is illegal for anyone to be in actual physical control of, operate, manipulate, navigate, or steer a moving vessel, aquaplane, surfboard, or water skis if: • You have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.10 or higher. • You are under the influence of alcohol, and it is not safe to be in control of the device or vessel. • You are under the influence of drugs, and it is not safe to be in control of the device or vessel. • You have any amount of marijuana or another form of a controlled substance found in your system. The penalties for BUIs vary and depend on the number of offenses. If you or a loved one has been charged with a BUI or a DUI in Georgia, we are here to help.
