Apparently he gave them a bad name, or he did not have a driver's license or ID card and lied about his age to them. Oh, and it was not adult "prison," he was booked into county jail. That would be a 0.13 BAC - well over the per se level, but below the aggravated DUI level. There were other...

If you choose to contest the violation and you lose, the chances of traffic school are greatly diminished. So if avoiding a potential insurance rate increase is something you want to do, than pleading "guilty" or "no contest" is where you might want to consider going.

Check with your county, or school district, and ask them about a resource for the McKinney-Vento Act. This is a federal law and mandates funding for programs to assist homeless or displaced youth. How it might be implemented in Florida, I cannot say, but, a call to your county's Office of...

Note that most providers do not save records of the actual text of a text message, only the date, time, and numbers of the sender and receiver. If you already have the text messages and just want to affirm them through the phone records, great. If you are hoping to find these messages archived...

Your daughter is an adult, correct? As such, your position as her mother has zero legal bearing on the matter. The Parole Agent could choose to inform you of what was happening at his or her discretion, but is NOT legally required to do so. As a parolee, your daughter has some very limited...

Wow ... I am stunned. I would think the defense bar would simply choose to fight most every DUI and then eat the investigating officer alive for lack of training and experience. I wonder if other states have this same training issue in any of their major metro areas? Or, with regards to the...

Wow! I'm surprised that they don't lose DUI case en masse! I have never heard of that! I can understand not being WELL trained in them, or even not being comfortable with them, but not training them at all?! Even the LAPD and LASD academies cover them, and deputies rarely do DUIs unless they...

Question: If NYPD officers do not do SFSTs, if they come across a DUI driver, what do they do?

If you were in your lane and he turned IN to the side of your car, he will almost certainly be at fault. The only way that you might be at fault (in whole or in part) might be if you were traveling in a lane you should not have been in, or, you were passing at an unlawful and high rate of...

Odd that you already have a plan of action for dealing with this DUI. Is driving impaired something you do often enough that you actually have a plan of action to deal wioth it? That's ... uh ... scary!

Well ... I was around when the original series when it was originally broadcast. :) Though, I did not see first-run episodes until the last season. I was a little young. Now, I have the whole series on DVD - my wife got them for me for Christmas a couple years back. Went to my first ST Con...

If Harry Mudd said it, it MUST be true! :)

Of course, what he tells you may not be the sole reason he stopped the car. There are reasons we might sometimes feed the suspect a line that's not quite the truth upon contact.

Then, if in CA, there may be no other option than a "Hail Mary" and hope the officer fails to respond to a TBWD or a TDN (trial de novo) and the OP wins by default. Alternatively, the OP can check with the local court to see if there are deferral options available, but, I believe such options...

Briana, what state are you in? The laws and policies on deferrals, traffic school, etc. vary by state. In my state of CA you would not be eligible for TS within 18 months of the first conviction. And going to court is not likely to result in a plea deal as prosecutors are rarely ever present...

Out here a great many schools have alternating dismissal times. Some do it by grade level, others by bus schedules, still others use other criteria. Traffic and safety are most often the reasons for these time differences, and there is generally nothing at all unlawful about it.

CAN charges be dropped? Sure ... WILL they be dropped? That may well depend on how strong the case is against you. If they have evidence that does not rely solely on the testimony of the deceased witness, then they should be able to proceed without any great difficulty. If the ONLY...

WHO was holding them back, and why?

It is unusual that the POLICE would serve and enforce a temporary restraining order or civil harassment order, but, sometimes it happens. These initial orders were likely temporary orders issued ex parte (before a judge and without input by the respondent). Clearly, at the subsequent court...

You cannot control what others do. If your parents really want to take action to get her out, they will have to initiate it. There is no way for you to legally give her the boot. But, if you really do not like the living situation, YOU can always move out of your parents' house. If this...
