THE JUDGE NEVER ORDERED RESTITUTION
You need to give us more information to help you with a general answer.
I was pulled over for a traffic stop and passed the field sobriety and breathalyzer but they still arrested and took me to the police station. I refused a blood test so the obtained a search warrant to take my blood. Can the Judge that signed the search warrant be the presiding Judge?
Yes. Judges operate/work within certain jurisdictions. So, if you get arrested within the judges jurisdiction, then...
How much does a 402 reduction typically cost? I was released from probation successfully but a reduction was not stipulated. I have a history of multiple DUIs. Does that make it more difficult to be granted one?
There are several factors that go into determining the cost of a 402 reduction. While the motion is a simple one, it...
I called 911 on my room mate who was very intoxicated and decided to jump from my 2nd floor balcony. When he moaned about his back pain I called 911 for help. During the call they asked where he was, and I realized a few seconds later that he drove off in his car! They asked if he had been drinking, and of course I told them yes. They located him and he tested .213 on the breath test. He also busted his lip in the jump off the balcony and when authorities noticed it he told them he feared for his life and that I was beating him! He had a 1/2 full 1/2 gallon of Vodka in his back seat...they didn't charge him with DUI but charged me with assault. Can they even do that? Legally of course.
This is why you hire a qualified criminal defense attorney to help you. They did it so obviously they can. Are the...
I know police have to follow laws and procedures. Making a judgement call to allow an intoxicated driver with a bac of .213 to go free without citation or legal ramifactions doesn't seem right. I've read the laws in Utah Regarding DUI laws. I've yet to come across a reason to not cite the driver, let alone take his excuse as a reason to "arrest" another who wasn't in the car. Did they charge me because I have a record, and I was an easy target? Or is it just normal for police not to report on field sobriety test results to a judge so they can make the call?
As I said in the answer to the other question you posted the police are granted the ability to use their judgment....
My boyfriend was arrested on 02/17/2013. He has not seen a judge yet. Isn't he supposed to be seen by a judge within a certain time period? How can we find out what that is in Utah?
It isn't his speedy trial rights that are currently at issue. Your best bet is to talk to his attorney if he has one....
My husband plead guilty to an impaired driving charge and was sentenced to do 48 hours of community service. The problem is that the judge ordered it though the city and he can only do community service on days that he MUST work or lose his job. He is the only working person in your home. We contacted the court to see if we could do the hours though a non profit instead so that he could complete the hours on weekends and were told that we must meet with the judge. Our docket date to meet with the judge is AFTER the date that he would have to have his community service done by. We now have 2 weeks to try and get in done. IF we were doing it through a non profit we could but since we can not risk the job we can NOT have him do the service. Will that be defendable in a court situation?
Retain an attorney to help you. They should be able to negotiate with the prosecutor and get an extension to do the...
