- Every State has a DUI law.If any person driving with blood alcohol concentration (BAC) 0.08 percent and refuse to a breath test; his/her driving license will be suspended. According to DUI laws, DUI is a crime, whether committed on public or private property. So there are chances if a soldier is suspected for DUI then it is possible that military authorities submit the proper information to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). So that they can take a revocation action but this does not happen always.
In other way, a soldier’s DUI offense can be prosecuted in Federal court or State court. If that happened then case will be governed by federal DUI law or State DUI laws. If its prosecuted in Federal court then Federal penalties will be applied in same way. If its prosecuted in State court then Assimilative Crimes Act provides for the adaptation of State laws in Federal jurisdiction. So there are possibilities that a soldier will lose his/her civilian driving license for a DUI offense, if the offense occurs in a civilian place.
