I was pulled over for speeding and the officer began to give me sobriety test. The officer told me that I failed the breath test. He then told me that he wasn't arresting me but, giving me a physical control ticket. He didn't record the BAC on the ticket nor did he sign his name or badge number. All the while the officer had a civilian with him whom he allowed to question people in my car. The officer cursed and was very unprofessional. After checking the people in my car the officer allowed a female to drive without a license. Should I make a complaint against the officer? Should I fight the ticket in court?
You should always consider fighting an alcohol charge. See: http://www.colorado-dui.com/states/OH.html
I got my dui last night at 6 am because my car was parked on the side of a suburban road, asleep, with light vomit on my clothes. I don't remember stepping into the car and I don't remember taking a blood test but I scored a really high blood alcohol content level, that I was to the emergency room. Should I plead no contest or get a lawyer?
You should hire an attorney or apply for the public defender. Even as a juvenile an OVI can carry serious consequences....
This would have been my third DUI (First in 2001 in California, Second in 2003 (2 months prior) in Ohio). I was arrested and given an OR, but never went to court. Instead I moved back to California to go to rehab, had some more struggles, but have been sober since 2006. I haven't had a DUI since. DMV in California has given me my license back, but they claim I need to clear up this charge in order to renew my license. I no longer have any ties to Ohio (I was only there for college), and live a completely different life now. I know that I need to clear this up for many reasons, but I don't even know where to approach it,being that I live out of state. Do they do alternative sentencing for people who live and work out of state? Also have a failure to pay fines warrant from prior dui.
The only good option is for you to hire an attorney near where the charge is pending who can file an appearance and try...
