I live in Georgia and the offense was in Louisiana. Otherwise my record is clean except for a few traffic tickets in the mid 90’s

You need this answered by a Louisiana barred attorney because they would know the affect of a conviction from that state. If this were a Georgia DUI/DWI, unfortunately it would still be on your record. Georgia is very strict in the ability to restrict convictions, however, Louisiana may not be.

That would depend upon things not stated in the question. For example, if the judge's Pretrial Release Order provides for Conditional Release, and one of the conditions is "no use of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs" or similar, then smoking cannabis would violate that condition.... View More

If you were not tested for a DUI, you won't be charged with it. As for fraud, if you were not inebriated by the beer you had earlier in the day, you had no duty to disclose it.

You can sue but it's a giant waste of time. You aren't injured and your insurance company will pay to repair the property damages without the time and money of a lawsuit.
All fines and court costs have been paid as well as the reinstatement fee ... But they still want sr22 and I can't afford it ... But I thought that requirement expired after 3 to 5 years.

I assume you are revoked. You must have a hearing with the Illi Secretary of State.
That requires obtaining a drug and alcohol evaluation, completing required classes and proving to the secretary at the hearing that you can be a safe and responsible driver, if given driving privileges.... View More

It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation. First, if your blood was drawn without your consent after the officer left, you may want to challenge the legality of that blood draw. In California, implied consent laws allow for chemical testing in DUI cases, but there are specific... View More

When you refuse to allow an officer to search your vehicle, it’s important to know that this alone does not give them probable cause to accuse you of being under the influence. However, if the officer genuinely believes you are impaired based on their observations—like your behavior,... View More

You can go to the DMV for new plates. I doubt that you simply have your original plates reinstated particularly if you permitted someone who was drunk and did not have a license to drive your car.

He was on the side of the road and heard me hit the rumble bars and flipped around to follow me then pulled me over for dui.
answered on Sep 3, 2024
Driving erratically can generally be a legal basis for being pulled over. Specifically driving out of a designated lane onto the shoulder where the road is serrated may give an officer probable cause to follow a vehicle and initiate a stop. The officer’s observations of how the vehicle was... View More

Mostly likely yes, if you was on private property, and was not in your vehicle at the time of the stop, the cop can still stop you. Was it your private land? If not, it doesn't probably matter.
