I got an MIP a few months ago in Santa Barbara, took some classes, and the misdemeanor was reduced to a disturbing the peace infraction. I never had to use the words "Penal Code 1000," I think Santa Barbara has its own way of dealing with these situations?
Just last night I got an even stupider MIP in Los Angeles (I'm not bothering to get into the specifics of either...it really doesn't matter) and although Penal Code 1000 states that if you've taken classes in the past 5 years to reduce a penalty involving drugs, you are ineligible. HOWEVER, there is no longer any evidence of my first infraction having anything to do with alcohol. Second, since the two were in different counties, I'm pretty sure the Los Angeles courts have no way of seeing what classes of taken previously.
Am I going to be able to use Penal Code 1000 for this new MIP? Or am I going to have my license suspended?
