I was in a university of california campus, and i was caught with marijuana less than 28g, while also being under 21, will i be fined the state citation or a federal citation?
answered on Jan 25, 2018
it will be state in all likelihood
they should have given you a citation that tells you where to appear

some courts use interlock others are not as demanding.
it is not a question of whether you need it but rather whether the DA and Court ORDER it.

It is 10 years, so if you get a DUI today it goes back 10 years.
When you got your DUI before it went back 7 years from the date of your past DUI.

I think your question is since... View More

How long do they have before my case in dropped?
answered on Nov 28, 2017
You can always contact the county district attorney’s office to determine what happened to the charges. If there has been a decision not to prosecute, they will inform you of that. It is probably safer to go online to the court’s website and check the status of the citation in that way.
