In Tennessee, DUI<\/strong> (Driving under the Influence of Intoxicants<\/strong>) offenders who are out of jail on bail and commit another DUI related offense now face tougher bail<\/strong> requirements.\u00a0 Effective in January 2011, if a defendant has been arrested<\/strong> and released on bail<\/strong> for a violation of DUI<\/strong>, vehicular homicide<\/strong> or vehicular assault <\/strong>involving DUI, and commits any of those crimes after release, the defendant shall be considered a danger to the community.<\/p>\n

Several Factors Must Be Considered in DUI Bail Cases<\/h2>\n
