I was pulled over for wearing headphones while driving.The officer gave me a field sobriety test which I passed with flying colors.He also gave me a breathalyzer test-blew total zeros.The officer still didn't believe that I wasn't on something at this point.When I asked him why that was,he told me "because you turned off your headlights and locked your car when you got out".He took me to get a blood test and booked me.I had to spent the night and half a day in jail with inmates and only managed to get out on $500 bail since the test results take "a month" to receive.I am 100% sure I will pass the test and was stone cold sober at the time (no drugs,medications,or alcohol AT ALL).I believe the officer didn't think I was on drugs and just wanted to put me in jail.
While I understand your anger and frustration with the encounter, I'm not hopeful of your civil lawsuit prospects,...
I got my first DUI (negotiated to DWAI) with a blood level was .157. I completed all my alcohol classes, MADD panel, community service, etc. ASAP . I was sentenced to 18 months probation and sobriety. I have not missed a test and all tests have been negative. On Feb. 1, 2013 I will have completed half of my sentence. my probation officer offered to send in early release of my probation which takes 4-8 weeks. She also said there is a chance it will be denied and they will want me to complete 12 months before releasing me. I have also been advised that if I write to the judge directly I may have a better chance of getting a yes of early release. I can see how a personal letter may be better. I am doing ETGs every month and just want to be done. Whats the best way to go about this request?
If you file for it yourself make sure to document for the court that your po agrees with the request. It has been my...
I was pulled over for speeding and admitted to having 2 beers about an hour and a half previuosly. I was asked to give a breath or roadside and declined but offered a blood sample, but when i got to jail the officer told me that since i refused the tests that it was a mandatory 1 year loss of license, but I offered a blood specimen. The officer told me that it was to late and would be up to the nurse. I explained to him that he never told me it would be a one year loss of license for refusal and that I offered a blood specimen. He said once again sorry it was to late and that it would now be up to the nurse and her supervisor. HELP
If you truly cannot afford a DUI attorney, this is going to be very challenging for you. DUIs are very technical cases...
Had a fight with my BF. He called me very choice words so I slapped his face. Then I pulled something off the wall I purchased for our home. He called the police on me. Thought he was kidding but had left way before they arrived. Called him & the police were there. They spoke to me on the phone & ordered me to come home or I would be in trouble. I knew I didn't drink too much to drive, or so I thought. Didn't know about DWAI laws in CO. The police never saw me drive. went inside my home they questioned me, and asked me to take a roadside in the house after I admitted to 3 drinks in a 4hr period. According to the officer I failed and he arrested me. I asked to take the breathlizer which was less than .08. Can't afford an attrny but make too much for a PD. Need help to negotiate w/ judge

It would be highly unlikely that you would get jail for a first DUI offense. There would have had to have either been...
My boyfriend and I went up to the mountains, were in jeopardy of running out of gas and getting stranded, it was late and very cold out and we wanted to avoid getting stuck. We finally found a shell gas station where I could use my shell gas card and it did not work. While at the gas station I misplaced the card 2 times and was in the middle of a panic attack, the second time I lost the card my boyfriend got out and was searching for it on the driver side of the car, since I was incapable of pulling myself together long enough to do so myself. Another car started to pull into the gas station so he got into the driver seat and pulled the car up three feet since I had left the car blocking two pumps. He and I both had a little to drink but he was the one in the driver seat when the cops came
