Nope! Prescription or illicit drug DUI arrests don’t automatically trigger suspensions. You only lose your license if you are actually convicted of the DUI or they attempt to take it in another way.

Probably, if you weren't drunk the statute permitting the emergency response costs doesn't apply
if found innocent in court am i responsible for emergency response bill even though i was in a accident by myself.
answered on Aug 27, 2020
In that situation, you would not have to pay the emergency response cost. (see GC 53150 and CHP v. Sup Court, a 2006 case). This requirement to pay is mostly for DUI + accidents or DUI + blocking roads etc. Look at the statute, it specifically requires being "under the influence".
I am going to court for this and have NOT been found guilty. Ive asked, e-mailed, and even wrote a letter to the city to stop harassing me. They continue to send letters stating that they will begin collection proceedings if i dont start making payments. What can I do?
answered on Aug 26, 2020
Not much. If an accident you caused while intoxicated caused an emergency response, by law, you are responsible for the costs. While you can dicker over priced, most of the time it’s not a winning proposition.

The law prohibits paying a public employee of any kind for them to provide you with personal services not available to the general public. This is called bribery. Both the person paying and the recipient are committing a crime.

He’s already completed everything he needed to do and paid all his fines. he just needs to get SR-22 and reinstate his license. are we able to move out of california and still be able to do so?
answered on Jun 12, 2020
You can move out of state as long as he is not on a felony probation. Being on summary (usually misdemeanor) probation has no affect on your ability to move out of state (or even out of the country).

If you were over the limit, involved in an accident and fled the scene without leaving your insurance or other contact information you are going to need a lawyer to defend you. Quite likely you...

There will a significant license suspension of at least a year. Likely to be charged with multiple... View More

To get my charges dismissed or overturned because of this? Or am I just suppose to waste time and wait for all this to blow over?
answered on Apr 14, 2020
The current situation is unlikely to result in either your charges being dropped or your conviction being overturned. Your question cannot be completely answered because charges being dropped presupposes that prosecution of your case hasn't started or been completed, whereas, overturned... View More
