Officer #1. The intoximeter test had already been started he informed officer 2 that the informing accused needed to be read, he read it and I refused to answer if I would submit. Officer#2. I gave a breath sample during the Intoximeter test, the other officer came back and said he didn't read the Informing the Accused had not been read. They then read it to me. Shouldn't they have read it to me first? They said if I refused it everything would be easier in the long run. So I didn't answer, I didn't know what to say. They marked me as a refusal. I did research -because they never gave me my id back- and they never told me if I was a refusal I lose my license for a year. They also stated I sat on the curb before the arrest and wouldn't get up. My two friends saw me get right into the car

Based upon the facts posted, you may have a defense to the refusal, IF you requested a hearing in a timely manner. Don'...

I was driving to a gas station,and then I came out and a cop was next to my car. She must've known that I drove to the gas station. She tested me knew I was intoxicated. My ticket was $240, but she didn't charge me with a DUI. Does that mean I got lucky?! Will she bring it up during my court date that I was driving?

Were you only cited, and not arrested? If you were not arrested, and she let you drive away, then she must not have...

Hi, I just got an underage last weekend in Wisconsin and was wondering what my options were. Here's the details: I was outside my house around 8:30 still light out, and i was just talking to my friend when two cops were walking down the alley and saw a beer bottle in my hand. One stopped and cited me and my friend for underage drinking. However, the cop stated that he didnt right down that i had a bottle and he didn't breathalize either of us. He also said something about a "watch" going on in the neighborhood so he had to give us an underage. I was wondering if there was any possibility of me fighting this charge, i never admitted to drinking either although it was my first beer im almost 20 years old and, turn 21 in 4 months

If there is no hard evidence (e.g. you weren't breathalyzed or given any sobriety tests), you should fight the citation.

So i had a bonfire at my house. The cops came and gave a few people underages, i ran and wasnt seen. Two days later, i recieved court days one for underage and other for possession of drug parafenilia. For the underage i want to get out of it cuz its 456 bucks! which is really high priced if you ask me. If they never breathalyzed me, or seen me for that fact i dont see how i got it. My friends said they didnt rat me out, and if they did i dont believe they can go off hear say. Yes it was my house, but my brother threw the bonfire. The drug parafanilia some of my pipes were found in my friends purse and well if it wasnt in my purse with my indentification how did i get a ticket. Once again, Hear say? idk wut to do. Not guilty???? HELP.

Hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered in court to prove the truth. Here's an example. If a police officer...

I am a college student who was arrested for a 4th offense OWI( within 5 yrs) making my case a felony. The police obtained a blood sample and subsequently sent it off for further analysis at the Crime Lab. They found out already that there was no alcohol in my system at the time of the arrest. The Crime Lab already has indicated that this is true. Does having illegal substances in your blood make the charges any different (looked upon less severely than alcohol) ? But the prosecutor says he is waiting to get the blood work back. I have been to court a few times already but the prosecutor filed to dismiss the case without prejudice. Am I suppose to think that the case is settled? Do I need to pursue other avenues of 'suppressing' the blood sample?

Restricted controlled substance violation cases can be harder to defend, and are treated just as harshly as cases where...

work and they put me in the station for blood test but i am afraid of needles so they told me after that i failed the test so thats why i got the ticket for dui do i have chance if i got in court to reduce the ticket and not to put ito my record ?

You have little to no chance to get it reduced without an attorney. OWI cases are complex. Consult with an OWI attorney...

I know someone who is charged with a 5th OWI but the first 2 convictions are from 1989 and 1991. The fourth OWI charge is from another state that dropped the ball on finishing an OWI conviction back from 2005. It appears district attorney is making this a 5th OWI to convict as a felony.

The ten year look back only applies to second offense OWI offenses. For example, if a person had been convicted of...
