But I can't find any exact information, everything refers to alcohol. I would like to know about jail time, licence suspension, fines. For both her as a minor and her parent.
Great place to look is Chapter 4, Title 28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. It's available online to the public at https://www.azleg.gov/arsDetail/?title=28
These incidents must go back to the mid-1990's--so did not impact my ability to get licensed in TX; but I'll be travelling regularly to OK--and don't relish an unpleasant surprise from a routine traffic stop.
Contact attorneys from OK and MD... ideally in the same counties where you most likely accused of a crime.
In my opinion yes. The traffic offense is called “defective vehicle” and it can be the basis for a traffic stop as a rear light cannot be broken.
Was sitting in parking lot when cop arrived pulled over to him to explain. Gave eye test with me seated in car. Requested breath test but cop said no. Refused to tell me his name and even hid name tag
You should get your license back on or about November 2, 2019, after the 120 pretrial suspension expires.
Arizona. Advice please.
What is statue of limitations?
There was likely a medical blood draw that was used by police to determine the presence of alcohol and/or drugs. Normally a single vehicle collision on its own will not be sufficient to be allege the DUI as aggravated so more information would be needed. The best advice I can give is to consult a... Read more »
haven’t been for the DUI yet. He was wrongfully arrested. I filed a complaint with internal affairs against the arresting officers at my local sheriffs stations and I also reported it to the Department of justice and the State attorneys office. What happens now? Will this be useful to reinstate... Read more »
I do not know what you believe happened that you believe h was wrongfully arrested.
The Department of Justice is not going to get involved.
The suggestion: Retain counsel
Hire a lawyer to expose the cops for liars if you were not dui.
The answer truly is it depends. The facts from your underlying DUI will come into play, along with the facts of this offense. It is a class one misdemeanor and you can be sentenced to up to 12mos in jail and up to a $2500 fine. If you had a good behavior period on your underlying DUI, this could... Read more »

he should ask this question to his private lawyer or the court-appointed lawyer.
s/he will have his record, year of convictions, and know what the local court and DA will do with a case like that.
anything is possible but the more DUI's the worst it... Read more »
It could be either or both. A lawyer would need to read your Warrants, and then possibly look up the Statutes.
Could this be dropped to wet/reckless?
much more info is needed.
what you are doing is like asking a doctor to diagnose a condition without history, blood tests, imaging etc
I'm unemployed, can't afford to post bail or a lawyer.I don't think s public defender will have time to give.to my case, there's some issues with arrest. 1,I wasn't stopped, I was parked, had.blood test done hours after arrest ,some others
YES
as long as you can't afford a lawyer the court will appoint the public defender to represent you.
as a rule, they are a LOT better than a CHEAP lawyer that you may find...often better than an expensive lawyer too
He is a recovering addict, he needed to get out of Knoxville to change his life for the better or he was going to die. He’s been in trouble before but completed his probation. The dui is from him OD in the car. How can he straighten this up living in another state? He doesn’t have the money to... Read more »
He will have to come back to Knox County to face the DUI Charge. I assume it is still at General Sessions. At Court the Warrant would have to be brought in (since he is not on the Docket), him arrested and booked, Bond set and hopefully made (so he could get out of jail), then him and the lawyer...

At some point he will appear before a Judge or Magistrate. In most counties, they are set up to ask the person if they have sufficient financial ability to retain counsel or if they are requesting court appointed counsel. If your son requests appointed counsel, they may screen his financial... Read more »
Service. Why does my letter say 18 months
I turned my license in early May of 2018
But I'm eligible to get them back May of 2020
Why 18 months and why 2 years
It should have been 12 months suspension which should be done and over
Your PennDOT Restoration Rights Letter should tell you all about your suspensions and when you're eligible to have your driving privileges restored. A 2nd DUI carries an 18 month license suspension. Perhaps you had an additional suspension for something else for another 6 months? Check the... Read more »

My sister was found not guilty by a jury about 3 weeks ago. The judge actually commented that she never should've been arrested in the first place (officer knew NOTHING about the tests he scored her by), and after the verdict he told her she had 30 days to have her record expunged free of charge....

A petition for expunction must be filed. Once the petition is granted, law enforcement and governmental agencies are instructed to destroy all records of the matter. Right now, if a background check is performed on your sister, her DWI case would appear, albeit it would show as dismissed. After... Read more »
Novel question. Could be, with the right facts and evidence of intent. Would depend on the perspective of the Indicting DA.
I don't think you are getting this correct. Call your public defender or the private attorney that represented you.

Suspect- drunk driver gets away
Vehicle- total loss
