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.
answered on Sep 9, 2019
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
It was categorized as a misdemeanor and not a possession charge. I pled the first offender act Because I Don’t plan on ever getting arrested again.I live in Georgia it’s supposed to be sealed, but I don’t think it is. So I’m just wondering how I approach this question on the application for... 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.
answered on Sep 1, 2019
Generally within a day or two, unless they are holding the vehicle as evidence, or filing a forfeiture claim. However, that would be very unusual for a DUI case.

If under 21 it may be suspended for a year. but that is only if you get convicted. sometimes your lawyer can identify problems with the case which can let you plead to a leaser charge or obtain a not guilty verdict at trial.
2 DUI convictions since 2014. After the first DUI I received a permit to and from work. I received the second DUI while driving on the permit. I have met all the courts requirements. I have a valid georgia driver's license but when I try to register a vehicle a red flag pops up. The courts... View More

Under Georgia law, if you have 2 or more DUI convictions, you are required to have an Interlock Ignition Device installed on your car. If you do not get it installed, you will not be able to get a new license, unless you can show you cannot install the device due to undue hardship.

Without knowing more it is difficult to answer this question. The officer should take into account any driving manifestations as well as personal manifestations. Although typically it is required to do all the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, sometimes the officer can arrest with less BUT you... View More
Was wondering if it was leagel to be arrest when he had no hat on
answered on Jul 1, 2019
The officer does not have to wear his cover (or hat) to make an arrest for DUI.
No test or anything done at the jail can they do that
answered on Jul 1, 2019
A police officer can arrest a person for DUI even when they refuse a breathalizer. The officer can arrest for DUI if based on their training and experience a person: has bloodshot eyes, smells like alcohol, was swerving or driving erratically, or had slurred speech.
