The substance/research chemical could be a benzodiazepine used sparingly for anxiety. If it is the only substance located from a sample if one is drawn, can you be convicted of an OWI?

The date is for the arraignment. This is not a pretrial or trial. Plus you have to be careful what you say. Anything you say can and will be used against you. They will appoint you the public defender to represent you. They will be able to best advise and represent you. Good luck with your case.
I was pulled over for doing 68mph in a 65mph zone. I passed field sobriety and breathalyzer. They still searched my car and found an open container which I was cited for. They never asked permission. Do they have probable cause although I passed the breathalyzer and field sobriety test?
Is there anyway i can get the new law to apply to me so that i can get my license back 2 years earlier?
I was charged with a dui my first offense and instead of doing the six months restricted I choose the 12 months with interlock but now I’m seeing I can’t afford to have an interlock for 12 months that the 6 months is more ideal is there anyway I can go back and change it?

You would need to file a motion to reopen if still in the appropriate timeframe to do so and ask the court to change the order. The problem is the DMV and ASAP will most likely restart the clock. You should contact your original attorney.

In California law, when a case is dismissed without prejudice, the statute of limitations is temporarily paused (tolled) during the time the case was pending, but it resumes running from where it left off after the dismissal. This means you would add together the time that passed before the initial... View More
