I just got a DUI and need advice badly...

Most likely it will be a 6 month to year suspension of your license. Without the breathalyzer the only thing they will have to go on is the officer’s testimony which will leave the “reasonable doubt”. Expect the criminal charges to be dismissed and the mandatory suspension of your license. Unless something else is going on that I don’t know.

They usually have a video recorder in the processing or waiting room that they will admit as evidence to show you was drunk. As long as you were not slurring and staggering you should be ok.


3 beers and you were at .06 which is legal. BUT who knows what you would have blown. Could it have been 4? 5 beers? Then you absolutely did the right thing.

DO NOT tell your lawyer anything but this… You had 2 beers. Tell him 5 and some may have this moral dilemma about letting you take the stand and perjuring yourself. Unless they were in the room with you it was 2 beers. The cop will say the obvious, I smelled alcohol, he was slurring, and he was weaving, etc etc. Expect the cop to lie his ass off because that what he will do. ADA’s will actually TELL a police officer what the story is before he testifies. Doesn’t matter what the story is, the ADA will tell you. [/B]


This sounds about right except the cop also gave me the roadside sobriety test.....

If they had a camera that will be worthless to them. I didn't say anything or even move that much. The only thing I said was "Yes" to understanding my rights and "No" to answering any questions. Even in the cops car when he was asking me why I was driving drunk I was only responding with "I haven't been drinking sir"


What happens when I tell my lawyer and judge I only had 2 beers, then the cop goes on about how I couldn't walk a straight line? I mean, I can't really walk a straight line anyway w/ out tripping alittle bit (lol).

Oh yeah also, don't forget, I'm under the legal age to be drinking.
 
Yes; your bust was legit because there are different standards for intoxication for minors versus adults. As for being "forced" to take the field sobriety test, unless you want to mount some kind of Constitutional challenge, I don't see them giving a shit whether you knew or not.

The only reason NOT to blow is if you are really assed drunk. In that case, don't get out of the car if it's that big of a deal. Make them drag you out and cuff you. DUI-related offenses can preclude bar memberships and some other professional stuff, security clearances, etc. So, if there's a chance it'll remain on your record, don't blow, take the suspension.

Yes, or, again, if you have a PREVIOUS DUI or if there's a traffic accident (particularly with an injury) or some other aggravating factor.

Stay safe out there!

Well from past legal advice from a friend who is a defense attorney prior to a dismissal of a DWI that I was tried before a jury of 12 peers just a few years ago.
The best thing to do if you think you might even be close to hitting the mark of blowing over the limit is not co-operate with any tests be breathe or field sobriety. Its a ballsy big boy move move and you will get arrested but you give them nothing to fight you with. If you do their tests its clearly a gamble you dont wanna lose. Just ask the officer if hes going to arrest you because your not doing any "rigged testing" that your convinced are designed to make you fail.
I refused the blow but I took the sobriety but the cop was such a jerk during the test, well to be polite a complete a$$ hole he sabotaged his case by not treating me fairly yet with hostility,screaming in my face as if I couldn't hear him,I always spoke back quietly and politely which through him off he pushed me one time in the video while telling me where he wanted me to stand and grabbed my shoulder with force about 4 times you could see him twisting my shirt while he thought he was blocking the camera he also pushed my hands down instead of asking me to keep them down on several occasions the guy was a way out of line and very unprofessional if he wasnt in uniform we would have scrapped the second he started trying to get a rise out of me but I clearly understood he was trying to get me to resist or stand my ground but I was literally surrounded with his boys who all had hand cuffs and clubs out. But the jury felt the video made him look like a bully which could have made any one nervous enough to fail thanks to a very good and $$pricey$$ attorney. I passed almost everything waddled a little on a turn but messed up on a simple finger count then he said that was enough to arrest me. Every second you are speaking to him or in his car everything is being recorded especially if they leave you in the car and you decide to talk to you self..lol dont ask :-) as if the recorder is right in your face so if you slurred,got hostile,muttered or rambled it could be enough to convince the jury that you were drunk. BUT when the jury is in the chambers they will discuss and argue the fact "where is the solid black and white proof" which would have been the Blow test.
Your have to hire an attorney and view the video SOBER to get a clear understanding of how this will look in front of a jury. Now remember YOU never have to take the stand the District Attorneys job is to convince every one that you were a threat and Schlitz faced.
I was shocked when I seen my video the cop cut out all of the conversation of him in I in his car when we were talking about what I do for a living and etc etc because I was totally coherent and sharp.
Be grateful that you are alive fighting a DUI case with no deaths or injuries.
Children are always supposed to prosper and bury their parents dont forget that!! not vice versa...
Good attorney/ watch the video/ then see how strong a case you have/ regardless I would fight it because if you win its dismissed if you lose your first case you will still face the same charges if you dont contest it at all and so call get a fricken plea its a cookie cutter charge the first time the second you need to attend AA and get your butt kicked..

sorry for ramblin
 
California:

If your BAC was below 0.08%, you will receive an infraction, which is just a fine. But if your BAC was 0.08% or higher, you will be treated like an adult.

More more information check out myRight (the url I referenced). They have a cool interactive quiz that tells you your rights and possible penalties.
