Gold Bar Crime

A company's vehicle policy states that a loss of driving privileges will result from a pending DUI until the issue is resolved. Typically, if a deferred prosecution is elected (No licensing suspension, no DMV record), would the company still be able to prevent the employee from driving during the deferment period (which is not officially resolved for 5 years)?

It depends on the employer. If you are required to drive only vehicles equipped with IIDs, you can file a waiver of...

I plead guilty 3.5 years ago to DUI in Snohomish County and was placed on five years of unsupervised probation. I was living in Texas at the time (and presently), so they allowed me to take care of the alcohol treatment in Texas, which I did. I am now being charged with DWI in Texas, and I am uncertain if I should report this. Eventually, I'm sure I will have to face the music, but I am currently in the baby-steps of this case (lawyer says it can go as far as 6 months) and I still live, work, and study in Texas. What is likely, and what should I do? It doesn't seem likely to me that any kind of punishment would be too severe, as this was a class C misdemeanor from almost four years ago and I didn't/don't live in the State of WA... ideas?

My understanding is that they randomly check your criminal record. If they know you live in Texas, they will likely...

A week ago I was arrested for DUI. I followed the police officers every request, blew a .078 for my first breathalyzer test and then .066 and .064 for my second and third. My license wasn't suspended and the police officer said that he think 'most likely' I won't be charged. I am wondering what my next steps are as I am going on vacation for 2 weeks in April but have not heard about anything further about any charges against me. What are the best things for me to do next while I wait hear if I am charged or not?

The portable breath test you took in the field is not admissible for anything except probable cause to arrest and...

My husband was charged with a DUI (0.101) a few months ago. This is his 2nd offense. The 1st was 10 years ago. He has already pled not guilty at arraignment and has a 2nd court date set for January. He applied for a PD, but was denied. We do not have money for a lawyer. We are a month behind on our mortgage, owe thousands in medical bills, cannot get a line of equity, and cannot receive a line of credit. We don’t know what to do. If my husband goes to jail for this we will literally lose everything. We have already accepted the 90 suspension. He has been seeing a counselor and was informed by the Behavioral Health Association Psychologist that he is not an abuser/addict. We had an initial consultation with a lawyer, and they want like $500 a month until we pay off a $4500.00 fee. We don’t have $500 extra a month, we just borrowed money to EAT!

You can reapply for the appointment of an attorney and list in detail your debts and obligations and see if the court...

A witness called the police reporting my vehicle, when the police arrived I was outside the vehicle and it was running. I was transferred to Snohomish county jail, refused all breath and blood samples. When I was released I received no paperwork, just a slip stating I refused to give a breath test (they never offered blood) how long do they have to give me a ticket/paperwork? The state patrol officer took pictures of my wrists and stated the actions of the Snohomish county sheriff were unprofessional and too physical. Stated this would be in the report. What should I do, is there a valid case against me?

Before I go into detail I would like to address the question "is there a valid case against me?" It is impossible to...

I was sentenced to two years supervised probation and three years unsupervised for a conviction of 2 dui's . I was required to do two years treatment which is ending soon and my supervised probation is ending shortly after . During treatment and supervised probation I was randomly drug tested . Do they continue random drug testing once treatment and supervised probation have been completed ?

That you are asking the question suggests that two years of treatment has not been fully effective. I will defer to...
