Dui? Sometimes, Bad Things Happen to Good People

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:11:28 +0000

As long as there are human police officers, injustices always will occur. A

great many police officers feel they have done their job when they arrest a

person for “mere suspicion” of DUI. In some instances, the arrest may be

warranted, but sometimes it isn’t.

Although you may think that just because your Blood Alcohol Level is below

the state limit, usually 0.08%, that you’ll not be arrested for DUI. Wrong!

Actually, you can be arrested for DUI no matter what level of alcohol is in

your bloodstream. Even if you haven’t been drinking at all, if the police

officer observes anything about you that leads him to believe you may have

been drinking, he can arrest you. And then, it’s up to you to prove your

innocence.

For example, let’s say that you just finished a fine meal at your favorite

restaurant and you had a small glass of wine. An overzealous police officer

stops you for a minor traffic violation and smells alcohol on your breath.

He immediately arrests you for DUI, slaps on a set of handcuffs and hauls

you off to jail.

Once you arrive at the jail, you’re photographed and fingerprinted, then

you’re placed in a holding cell, probably along with some pretty unsavory

characters. You’ll wait there for what seems like an eternity and eventually

you’ll go before a local magistrate who will decide what happens next. He

may just assign you a court date and release you, or he may keep you locked

up until you post a cash bail. If you don’t post bail, you’ll sit in jail

until your court date.

Even when you do get out of jail, it will seem like your troubles are just

starting. As a result of your arrest, your car was towed to an impound lot

and when you go to retrieve it, you’ll be faced with paying hundreds of

dollars in towing, storage and administrative fees.

When your court date finally arrives a few weeks later, you need to be

prepared to fight your case by being knowledgeable about the DUI laws of

your state. If everything concerning your arrest wasn’t done properly,

there’s a good chance you can get the case dismissed and all charges

dropped, thereby keeping your record clean. Even if your case does proceed

to trial, your guilt must be proven beyond reasonable doubt. Again, this is

where you need to be aware of the law and what’s legally required for a

conviction.

Keep in mind that the police officer is not your friend. The judge is not

your friend. This is a money-making enterprise for them and they would

prefer to punish you as much as possible, as quickly as possible so they can

move on to the next poor soul who they’ve managed to catch in their snare.

If you don’t know your rights and speak up, they’ll just dish out your

punishment and move on to the next victim. You will have now been

rubber-stamped as a criminal and you’ll have to live with the consequences.

Can I be charged with this DUI?

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 03:55:24 +0000

My car was sitting outside of a gas station,me and my boyfriend where sitting in it with no keys in the ignition my keys were in my sweater while I was getting beat up by my boyfriend. The clerk at the gas station called the police whom then a couple minutes later showed up to the gas station.

Need some serious advice! Save the bull crap earn your points the correct way. Thank You for all helpful answers.

The cop opened the door and immediately pulled me out from underneath my boyfriend which didn’t even give me enough time to take the keys out of the ignition even if they would have been in the car. And if they would have been in the ignition then why did they even have to ask me who drove? She took me inside the gas station and asked me what happened as I proceeded to explain to her my situation her partner came into the gas station and asked me for the keys to my car so my boyfriend could get his belongings out. I gave my keys to the male officer so he could take my boyfriend to the car to get his things out..What I’m getting at is NO ONE SAW ME DRIVE…NOT EVEN THE OFFICER …They are solely convicting me of a DUI based on the fact that my boyfriend who was also intoxicated claimed I drove the car to the gas station.

They also failed to take a statement from the clerk stating that I was attacked AND that he himself does not know who DROVE the car,so I could use it to my defense in the battery charge I also received from my boyfriend who only charged me to make himself look innocent. Any mark he has on him was pure self defense! Is there anything I can do to beat this DUI I charge?!? I need HELP…If I can’t beat this charge I can no longer head to basic on Jan. 6th,2009! ADVICE PLEASE!

Also,I didn’t drive the car…We got a lift from the club to the gas station where my boyfriend and I dropped it off..And then got a ride back and sat inside the car to avoid the cold and wind..he wanted to go inside to get some beer and thought I would leave him and tried to grab my keys from me..thats how the fight started. THANKS for your help!

And the reason we sat in the car to avoid the cold is because we were going to call someone to come pick us up and take us back on the military post where I reside as soon as he got back out from the gas station but since he had to think someone was leaving him neither of us never made it outside that car until the cops arrived.

You had the keys to the car. Thus you are assumed to be in control of the car. They dont have to see you drive. They also dont know how the car arrived at the gas station and they assume you drove it there. Good luck but I doubt you can beat the charge.

I was hoping to join the Air Force Rotc but was stopped for a DUI in last December with my court case coming up this October. Is this a DQ factor for the ROTC? If not, then how would it effect my AF career?

You should be fine.

When to send I-485 DUI Arrest Documentation?

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:04:32 +0000

My husband is a US citizen and we are about to fill out my forms and prepare the packets for immigration but my question is: When I fill out the question that asks about any arrests, do I have to mail any paperwork showing that the case is closed and also paperwork about the ticket that is pending of a hearing along with my I-130 & I485or do I have to keep it and bring it just to the interview?
