Given the .07 BAC, I suggest working with a criminal defense lawyer and trying to negotiate the drunk driving charge down to a traffic violation. I can't speak to the open container violation; apparently you had open alcohol in your vehicle when you were pulled over.

Check with the court in which you're charged to see if you qualify for a court-appointed lawyer.
On my court day, I just only admit the guilty of the open container, but I want to provide some pictures and one guy if necessary to prove it was really nothing to do with my drinking lastime. I will not feel guilty about DUI, firstly I was very compatible with officer for whatever test; Secondly, Engluage is my second language, and I felt very nervous because of the first time to meet police officer since I arrived US. in addition, in the midnight, I felt cold. Which above made the officer give me a false result DUI from my sobriety test. Thirdly, my BAC is .07 (less than the illegal level).

What I state above can be as an effective defense? Thanks so much!
