Incorrect documentation and errors from Law Enforcement are unfortunately common. You may want to hire a lawyer on a very limited basis to do the investigation for you so you can be certain there is not a case against you. The SHOULD have provided you a bunch of paperwork when you were arrested,... View More

In Georgia, They will usually test under the DRE (drug recognition expert) guidelines for field sobriety examinations. However, They don’t have to test for the specific drug itself as there is no requirement for that.
Never was served papers. Rumors

This really depends on the negotiation with the prosecutor but technically yes you would need to take the classes twice.

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
answered on May 16, 2020
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... View 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...

He thinks if he waits till prob period runs out he will be free and clear.
answered on Nov 14, 2019
That is not necessarily true. Probation could submit to the Court a tolling order and if it has been signed his probation would stop or "toll" until such time as he is arrested not the warrants. If a tolling order has been signed there is no way for his probation period to run out.
Will I get probation ?

In order to remotely answer your question we would need way more information. Are you getting help from an attorney? What are the facts of your case? Impossible and would only be able to speculate without at least some information about your situation.
answered on Oct 1, 2019
Novel question. Could be, with the right facts and evidence of intent. Would depend on the perspective of the Indicting DA.
Additional details removed.

The short answer is YES. The issue becomes when will they lay the charges and how they prove the elements of the offence without sobriety tests of a breathalyzer? Were blood sample taken? Was there a video of the event? How decent and reliable are the eyewitnesses?... View More

A plea under the first offender act is not a conviction, because there is no adjudication of guilt. So you can honestly say you have no convictions.
