[MaGilicuti]

i've got every violation in a accept for DUI thank god. i don't tend to ever get it either. it would seriously hurt my wallet and i'm sick of working for nothing

 

[MattTheSkywalker]

I hope you did it cause DUI is a felony in your state cause otherwise I can't see why...

too much to lose with a conviction.

sometimes things get taken for granted.

should've thought about how much you had to lose before you got behind the wheel....

i hear ya on the too much to lose part though. my last 2 years in the Marine Corps were totally fucked because of my DUI. promotion? what promotion? we're all human and we make mistakes, you'll pay the price for yours and life will go on, right? wrong. every which way i turned i got fucked. then i was told that people were doing me "favors" when they weren't doing a fucking thing except following standard procedures outlined by what the current marine corps order was on how to treat alcohol related incidents. after that DUI, they were looking for ways to fuck me over, and set me up into positions to just screw with me more.

2 months or so after i got my DUI, a butter bar in my unit got one. he blew right at the state's legal limit, .08. he was at the bar with guys from his platoon, a fight broke out in the bar, they all got the hell out of there, and he had 4 or 5 of them pile into his car because you just don't want to be involved PERIOD in those situations, even if you're a bystander, the military will still try to fuck you over if they feel like it. not 200 yards after pulling out of the bar he was pulled over and arrested. i know he got it a lot worse than i did, as he was forced to leave our unit less than a month later (and had only been with us for about 2 months).

 

[NJRipped]

BULLSHIT!

there's a lot of states where refusal to submit to blood or breathalyzer or even feild sobriety test is an AUTOMATIC conviction. .

What state(s)?

 

[Buddy_Christ]

i know PA for certain, as that's where i live. not sure what other ones. just check with your state DMV.

or wait, here's a better idea....don't drink and drive.

hardrock,

I got arrested for DUI, and I spent over $22,000 on defense. I won. I hired a lawyer, engineers, got to learn the workings of the breath test device, understood what roadside tests are admissible and which are not, etc. I won despite a .17 BAC.

My point is

I am extremely knowledgeable about this stuff .

I probably know more than most lawyers, since I have more resources than they do to fight these things, and in my day job I supervise about 25 of them.

So if you have any questions or just want some free advice that is based on fighting the state and preparing and winning at trial, let me know. I will help you.

One last thing: welcome to the club.

Damn, I hope you feel good...you could have killed somone but you got out of it cause of your loot...what a shame

 

[chewyxrage]

WTF - you people act like you wouldn't do the same thing if you could.

Why would you ever want a DUI on your record if you have the means to keep it off?

A real man admits when he is wrong, a coward hides behind money and lawyers...I know that may sound geigh, but think about it...homeboy could have killed someone, but yet he is free to go, with no punishment...money should not make you above the law

Yeah that does sound pretty geigh.

It's not like he would have gone to jail or something. It would have been a fine and classes, etc. I'm fighting my DUI and I've already completed all the classes\evaluations, etc.

I would rather give my money to a lawyer than the bullshit court system - DUI's are designed to be their #1 money maker and it's rediculous.
