I received a DUI on June the 18th this year. I was pulled over due to a mechanical error resulting in me hitting a curb. Friends in my truck were smoking marijuana and I was driving them home before me going home. I was pretty sure I was under the legal limit. I was told I reeked of alcohol and they found marijuana paraphernalia in my truck and pieces of pot in the carpet which no one claimed. I got the blame for that. On september 5th I had my first court appearance. They said results weren't back in so I went back on the 24th of October. They said my BAC came back negative or in other words 0.00. I have no clue how but it did. They said they hadn't received the toxicology report though. The DA wanted me to plead guilty on circumstantial evidence. Is there two different tests for drugs and alcohol? I don't understand how I had no alcohol in my system. Also as a former heavy pot smoker the levels in my blood will be high. Something feels strange about this. Is it possible they lost or botched the blood test? Do I have a legitimate case? Any help or answers would be appreciated.

My nephew was arrested in may and it's now november and he's gone to court 3 or 4 times and they keep having him come back to court because the BAC test has not come back from the lab yet. Is there some sort of statute on this? What about the right to a speedy trial?
If this was a breath test, the results should have been available immediately and the issue may be that the evidence...
I have a NJ license, got a DUI (and subsequently refused a breathalyzer) in PA, and pleaded into their "ARD" program (i.e. no DUI conviction). Now PA wants to suspend my license (a separate civil case/administrative matter) for one year because I refused. I am moving to TN in one month and am wondering if it is smarter to get my TN license before my driving privileges are suspended in PA, or just keep my NJ license and hope for the best!
You need to get a TN licenses ASAP. Prior to suspention, its the only way you can get a restricted licenses in TN. Let...
I have a possible DUI pending that was received in IL while visiting. I am fighting it, but would like to know possible circumstances. Would TN drivers license be affected if IL sent the DUI conviction to my home state of TN? This would be 2nd conviction in IL, but have no tickets or anything in TN. Any chances for driving relief?
A driver's license is property of the issuing authority, i.e., the state. State courts do not have the authority to...
