The search term "WA DUIs" is typically used by people who have been arrested for suspicion of "driving under the influence" (abbreviated "DUI") in Washington State (abbreviated "WA") and/or are looking for legal information and/or an attorney to represent them in their contacts with Washington State's police, prosecutors, courts, and Department of Licensing. A lesser number of people who use this search term have sympathies with those who prosecute people who stand accused of DUI.

The statute under which most people stand accused of DUI in Washington State is the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 46.61.502 which states that a person who has a blood alcohol level of 0.08 ("point oh-eight") or higher within two hours after driving and/or while the person is under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor and/or any drug is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. In addition to criminal prosecution, people who stand accused of DUI in Washington State are subject to administrative proceedings conducted by Washington State's Department of Licensing wherein their driving privileges can be suspended or revoked.

    At issue in this case was whether the city police were authorized under RCW 46.20.308 to perform a blood test on a driver suspected of driving under the influence when three previously administered breath tests reported interference. The court found that because the specific exceptions to permitting blood samples in lieu of breath tests were not present, there was no authority to require a blood test.
