answered on Apr 30, 2019
There is a two-year statute of limitations applicable to the prosecution of a defendant on charges of driving under the influence. The time begins to run on the date the offenses were committed. O.C.G.A.§ 17–3–1(d), 40–6–391(a)(1), (5).
DUI-D was on Dec 2, 2012

I will need more information, however, for the purposes of a plea, if you plea to a DUI you are required to take classes as a condition of your DUI probation. Now, if you want to fight the case then that requirement will not be necessary.
Was not offered a breath test. Was not driving.
I was parked in a spot with vehicle not in operation.

The short answer is, yes. You can be charged with a DUI if you are in control of a vehicle at the time an officer stops you. I suggest you seek representation.
I plead nolo to dui received in 2010 and know the judge granted me a first offender and I completed my probation. Now, it's 2019 and I'm being told ga law prohibits that possibility. Has that changed just since 2010 in Georgia

It is generally accepted under Georgia law that first offender treatment is unavailable to persons who are convicted of DUI (including those who plead nolo contendere). Sims v. State, 214 Ga. App. 443, 448 S.E.2d 77 (1994)

Is there any way for that not to happen? I have to go to court in a weekand just found out the legal consequences
answered on Mar 11, 2019
I would need more information. I think your biggest issue may be if your probation would be affected. Make sure of that first. In addition, the amount of speeding will definitely be needed to answer whether or not your license will be revoked.
I have a 1 year suspention on my license

It sounds like you did not appeal the suspension of your license. When the arresting officer gave you the 45 day permit, you had to appeal that in order to keep your driver's license. It sounds like you did not appeal that, and, thus, your license was suspended for 1 year.
They said if they wanted to request a later trail date to wait for them. Can I make them go ahead w/ the trail even w/o the results?
answered on Jan 21, 2019
It is unlikely. The prosecutor will likely request (and be granted) a continuance based upon the blood test results not being returned yet.

Generally the seizure (pulling over) and the search must be valid. Every rule has many exceptions, it would depend on the specific facts of the case to determine if the search was valid.

You are confusing civil and criminal cases. A bar owner CAN be found negligent and responsible if he over-serves a patron and that patron goes out and injures another person or property.
