Does Double Jeopardy Apply to DUI Cases

[falseaccusationvictim]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey

If I'm falsely accused of DUI, and am subsequently acquitted in court... if I'm ever falsely accused again, will they be able to prosecute me?

And also, if I have documentation of a health problem in my vehicle, watery eyes and nystagmus for example, will that prevent the officer from arresting me based on those conditions?

for a separate incident? Absolutely.

And also, if I have documentation of a health problem in my vehicle, watery eyes and nystagmus for example, will that prevent the officer from arresting me based on those conditions?

None of those are the only basis for arrest to start with. The arrest is based on the total set of circumstances.

Double jeopardy applies to a single charge - getting acquitted of DUI or getting the charge dismissed (after jeopardy attaches) does not mean you can spend your life drinking and driving. Each incident is a separate offense.
