I had previously gotten a DWAI in NY 8 years ago. It was a plea bargain down from a DWI. Recently (a week ago) I got arrested for a DWI. Will the state of California regard this as a second offense or a first offense? (Please note that in NY DWAI is only an infraction.)
IN NY DWAI,driving while impaired by alcohol, is a lesser offense than a DWI, generally reserved for those with a BAC...
i was just recently arrested in california for a dui, but 2 priors in florida. will they count against me here?

I currently have a job with the county. I am looking for a new job in a different county. I do meet the qualifications for the job, but I got a DUI misdemenor back in july of 2010. The job I applied for is county, but is located at the jail. would employment be possible?
DUIs are usually not considered crimes that would prevent employment. But this is a county by county basis. Call...
I have completed all other requirements (18 month class, paid off fine, filed SR-22) and it has been over three years since my second offense. I know the written is required and want to know if I have to re-take the driving test as well.
Unless the suspension and or revocation involved a physical or mental disability then there is no requirement of a...
While driving highway, my car started smoking, I was panicked as at that time my phone was dead. It was night time and I was scared. I was driving the fastest lane, but carefully stopped the car when there was no car by blinking and parked on the side--1/5 of right side of the car was in the lane. I run across the highway when no car, and got out of fence and asked for help on the street. Some kind person let me use his phone and I called AAA. When AAA came, I went back to highway, and there were CHP . I got arrested for DUI as I couldn't blow breath test well, and CHP thought I declined the test, believed I was DUI. However I only had one glass of wine a couple hours before. I got blood test at the station. No one will above the illegal level of BAC 0.08 with just a glass of wine.
In California, you can be charged with a DUI even if your BAC was below a .08 per VC 23152(a). It is possible to get a...
I was pulled over on St. Patrick's day by CHP on the 101 in Monterey county. Apparently, I was going 100 in 65 zone. I blew twice the legal limit, according to the police. Went to arraignment today. I make too much for a public defender. I have no prior ANYTHING. The judge told me to relay to an attorney the following: 2 counts of DUI 'a' and 'b', 'Excessive DUI?' 'Excessive speeding'. I didn't want to plead Not Guilty, so I almost pleaded Guilty/No contest (they are the same in Monterey County, apparently) and the judge basically told me that was a stupid idea and to retain an attorney. I do not want jail time! What is the protocol? I want to make sure that I don't hire an attorney, then end up doing jail time in the end anyway!
A No Contest plea is considered the same as a guilty plea in any criminal court in California. Your still pleading...
Not sure how many DUI's are within the past 10 years. He just plead "no contest" to a misdemeanor DUI and sentencing is in 2 wks. For unknown reasons the other charges (felony DUI, 3 felony assault and 1 felony assault w/ deadly weapon) in this event were dropped. Not sure if this was some sort of deal. He did have psych evaluations (4011.6 & 730 & 1017) during his jail time (couldn't make bail). He has a long history of getting drunk, calling 911 and being in the hospital overnight. He's been committed by the authorities several times in 2 states for his drinking. Each time he was committed it was following a violent event and the police got involved. Assault charges keep getting reduced or dropped because he was drunk each time.
The sentences vary from city to city but typically you can expect probation for 1st, probation w/ a little jail time...
