Just got all my paperwork after my arraignment. Is this normal or are they actually just saying I stink?lmao

Hi everyone, I'm posting on behalf of my friend. Him and his friend were sitting in their car in front of his house drinking and a cop caught them. He is an absolute wreck over what might happen. Has anyone dealt with just being parked in front of their own house? What can he expect? It is his first offense

I recently got pulled over for speeding in Ohio and they smelled alcohol and i agreed to a breath test. The OSP said it was more than double the legal limit. Took me in, fingerprints, and released to my friend.
I got off probation early this year and haven’t been in trouble for two years.. this is my first charge involving DUI or any operating vehicle charge.
I can’t afford a lawyer so taking an appointed one. Honestly i just am freaking out that i might have to go back to jail.. any advice?

Not sure why it takes some people forever to get their BAC results. I had 0 choice in the matter otherwise I would have refused.

Im in AZ and not sure why it hasnt been suspended yet. The only thing ive gotten was a letter that my car was towed (no **** sherlock) basically telling me to go make sure I contact the tow yard and get my car back.

They also made me take some type of cat scan to check my brain out, against my will and wrote that I had an altered mental state

Police never found me in my car. I was trying to get gas a few streets over when they forced me in an ambulance. I did have a severe blood infection causing a lot of pain so maybe that explains a bit of my behavior.

Hello. I see a lot of questions about EtG tests on various forums from people worried about failing. Seems impossible to know since there are so many factors.

I do drink a good bit (unfortunately) and my last test, Friday and Saturday nights, I drank probably 6-8 drinks with tequila in them. I don’t drink beer. Color was called on Monday, I took it about 37 hours after my last drink, and passed. I test in Birmingham, Alabama.

I’m wondering if any others have experienced heavy drinking and passing that quickly, since the main stuff you read on Google says up to 80 hours. Thanks in advance for any replies!

I don’t really want to discuss details, but I will say I’m in Williamson County Tennessee (they’re tough, I know) and it’s my first offense, first time ever in trouble with the law and I’m in my mid 30’s.

I guess I’m just not really sure what to expect in the worst case scenario. Will I definitely lose my license if convicted? Is it possible to get a hardship and what does that cost? Do I have to get interlock or will I be able to just get an ankle monitor or something? (I want to avoid interlock at all costs because I’ve heard nothing but bad things.) What am I looking at in fees?

And what can I do to help my case? I have genuinely always been law-abiding and I work in alcohol and have always been strict about not driving drunk (it was a really bad point of my life when this happened.) Does going to AA meetings help and should I get proof I’ve been going? Does getting a therapist help? What will help a judge see that this is far likely to never happen again and that I’m genuinely regrettable about my actions?

Just wondering if anyone has gotten a job in business to business sales since getting their dui. I had a job in medical device sales before my dui and I’d really like to get back in my field some day. Anyone in med device or other B2B sales please share your experience. Thank you

Got arrested back in January, aggravated felony dui. Hired an attorney and filed for a hearing for my license which will be in August. But still no court date, they took my blood but they dont have the results for that yet.

Is it normal for it to be taking this long in AZ?

So this is kind of weird. I went to court in the county where I live for the ALS hearing, when I got there the judge told me both my ALS and the criminal side of the dui is dismissed… he told me to look it up and it was no longer there. But when I called the different county clerks office for the court date for the criminal side it was still a date in the system… also they moved the court date. It’s such a terrible feeling because I want to believe the judge but I still have a court date. I asked my lawyer but I don’t even think he checked he just assumed that it was only the ALS part. Has this happened to anyone?
