Called the BMV in Ohio because they froze my California DL. They gave me the number for court they are looking everything up

Wow, what a nightmare. I'm a bit surprised it's just now surfacing. To answer your question, the statute of limitations for most misdemeanors in Ohio, including DUI, is two years (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2901.13). That being said, I'm not sure that the statute of limitations would... View More

Absolutely not. In fact, it's very rare. I normally only see police impound vehicles in DUI cases when the DUI suspect has at least one prior DUI conviction in the past ten years. Think of getting a DUI lawyer involved so he/she can petition the court to release your vehicle immediately. If... View More
