A: In California, you can find out what happened at a DUI arraignment by requesting a copy of the court transcript or accessing the court record online. Here are the steps to follow:

Contact the court clerk: You can contact the court clerk of the court where the arraignment took place and request a copy of the transcript or record. You may need to provide the case number or other identifying information to obtain the record.

Access the court record online: In some cases, you may be able to access the court record online through the court's website. Many courts in California use the Odyssey system, which allows you to search for court records by case number, name, or other identifying information.

Hire an attorney: If you have been charged with a DUI and have not yet retained an attorney, you may want to consider hiring an attorney to represent you in the case. An attorney can review the court record and provide you with information about what happened at the arraignment, as well as advise you on your legal options and potential defenses.

It's important to note that court records are typically public information, but there may be restrictions on who can access certain types of information, such as confidential or sealed records. If you have any questions or concerns about accessing court records or obtaining information about your DUI arraignment, you may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in criminal defense or DUI cases.
