A DUI allegation is a +35 point signal on its own — one of the largest single bonuses in the scoring model, second only to fatality.
DUI-related incidents carry a dedicated has_dui flag that adds +35 points to an incident's priority score — reflecting that DUI cases tend to be higher-value, higher-clarity liability cases and correspondingly higher-intent searches ("hit by drunk driver lawyer," "DUI accident compensation").
Because the +35 DUI signal frequently combines with other high-value flags — a DUI crash is disproportionately likely to also involve a fatality or critical injury — DUI incidents are among the fastest categories to clear the generation threshold.
has_dui: +35 points, independent of incident type. Combined with a fatality (+50) and in-state location (+25), a single DUI fatality incident can score 110 points before any other signal is applied.
