Refuses blood test and Field sobriety test
Yes, they can absolutely be charged. However, the real question will be whether they will be convicted. It sounds like you may have a strong case. I would recommend you contact a criminal defense attorney to discuss your options.
If i were the victim in a hit and run accident, and made a police report at the scene and whom they later arrested
I’m glad to hear they found the hit and run driver. There should be an amended accident report from the resulting arrest with the driver’s information and their insurance company. You can file a claim against their auto insurance carrier to get compensated for your vehicle and injuries as a... Read more »

Your drunk driving and speeding are not legal. However, there is no law requiring an officer to arrest you.
Get Started
I received DUI and on the ticket it stated that a test was administered then in the remarks it states I had refused all testing. At the scene I asked for a breathalyzer. None of the 3 units had one. I was then brought to the station and I asked again for a breathalyzer and was... Read more »

This really depends on the negotiation with the prosecutor but technically yes you would need to take the classes twice.
I went to court in 2017 on charges. I ran and I years later I got picked up on a warrant. 30 days in jail. The DDS told me all I need was one DUI Certificate with both citation #’s on the certificate & same for clinical evaluation. She said that was all I need and to pay 400.00 for... Read more »
Were you on probation when you ran or was the case still waiting for completion. Everything can have an effect. you will most likely need more than a dui certificate but we need more information.
I have 2 duis from over 5 years ago. My license were suspended and i was ordered to take 2 defensive driving courses before reinstatement. Is there a statue of limitations on that requirement? I have had no driving citations or duis since
The statute of limitations does not apply to taking a defensive driving course. Unfortunately you will still have to complete those requirements as they are required by statute to be completed not just by order of the court.
I have been under investigation for driver's license fraud for about 8 years. Knowing that the statute of limitations have been up, these investigators are putting me through the same things. They are not putting the case through the courts or giving me my license, they keep telling me i... Read more »

Your private property may be in a city that makes discharging a firearm in the city limits illegal. Plus, in some or residential neighborhoods, covenants prevent such activities due to disruption of the neighbors due to loud noises.
Your bond will be determined by other factors than just the charges. What court will you be going to for the bond? Was anyone hurt in the accident? How far apart are your two dui charges?
Long story short, I received a DUI exactly 10 yrs/1 mo ago and I have never been to court for it. So obviously I know I have an FTA (Most Likely) When I log in to the cities website and go to pay fines off, I then enter my License # and my DOB, which brings up two citations, one for Failure to...
