Your wallet, as courts normally charge for certified copies of records. A minute order is a record of the court's decision in a case. If the decision was made in a public proceeding, there should be no other requirements for a certified copy.

If you don't have any money to pay for a private attorney to represent you, at your arraignment where you plead no guilty ask for a Public Defender to be appointed.

Is it possible for you to move to OC? You are correct in that you must reside in OC in order to be eligible. If you are not able to do so, there are other options to resolve your case successfully, but not with this limited amount of information.

YOU ARE POSTING THIS ON A DUI WEBSITE.
REPOST ON FAMILY LAW AND INDICATE CITY NEEDED.
ALSO CONSIDER LEGAL AID IN YOUR AREA.
would it be a reason to get that evidence throw out?

Yes, the wrong date could indicate the test result is not based on your sample. But it could also be a clerical error of lesser impact. In either case, there are many ways that a drug test can become tainted and unreliable as evidence of guilt. You may want to discuss the matter in greater... View More
I got in an accident not at fault right by my house. I went home to check in before the police arrived. I was in shock and had a couple shots to calm my nerves not thinking I would be breathalyzer since I wasn't at fault. I know stupid. When giving police report I mentioned I had a couple... View More

The statements, regardless of whether they are included in the police report, will likely not affect the charges you face, nor the settlement offers you receive. You should probably contact a local DUI defense attorney to discuss the best way to proceed in your case, they can help you develop the... View More
My DMV 4-month suspension for a first time DUI charge will be concluding here in December. I’ve been driving with an IID restricted license since August and will be concluding a 4-month DUI class next Saturday, thus I should have all the prerequisites for reinstating my full license. However, my... View More

The DMV action taken against your license is independent of the DUI criminal case. If you're eligible to have your license re-instated by the DMV, there's nothing to prevent you from doing so.

If there's no chemical test it's very difficult to prosecute you for DUI, especially if you passed the FST's. If you want to fight the infraction, have at, it would be difficult for anything to be added to the case.
I’m a 23 year old from California , I recently violated my court probation. I violated it with a “spectating ticket” For watching an illegal motor vehicle contest.

it is always best to have an attorney.
however, if you can't afford one the court will appoint the public defender on any criminal case.
the reason fees are so high is that most cases are not resolved with one appearance.

more info would be helpful...........but for most misdemeanors, a lawyer can appear under 977 on behalf of a defendant (not for a domestic violence in Indio)
for a felony, the defendant has to appear
At my California DMV DUI hearing, my license was revoked for 1 year, due to the fact the officer stated I refused a blood test (though 100% false. Regardless is there any way for me to get a restricted license for work, medical, food, and transporting my children to/from school?
answered on Oct 6, 2021
No, a finding of refusal by the DMV results in a one year "hard" suspension, you should have been advised of that possibility when you were offered the test.
I violated my court probation by “attending a illegal motor vehicle contest” they gave me a ticket for spectating.
My original offense was for a dui. Which occurred at the beginning of 2020.
- I was within 300 feet when the police stopped me, but they had the whole intersection... View More

IF THE 2 DUI'S WERE MISDEMEANORS THEN THERE ARE STILL 2 MISDEMEANORS WITH BENCH WARRANTS FOR A VIOLATION OF PROBATION....IF YOU ALREADY PLED OR WERE FOUND GUILTY.
Think they were both under .02 because it still passed him and was green. Does he have to worry about this when it gets reported to DMV. Will this be a problem? He doesn’t have to report to a probation officer..I’m just worried because his job requires him to have his drivers license.

Nyquil contains 10% alcohol. The law doesn't make a distinction what the source of the alcohol was, just that you had it in your system.
