I live in Kansas. Should I suspect future ramifications in the mail?
Yes, as sometimes it take 5 weeks to get test results back. Suggest you contact an attorney who handles DUI's in the county where you will be charged.
He hit someone but no one was hurt and the ticket just says not stopping at a stop sign
If he is going into the service (for real not a "I think I might" ) then cop may move it down to a non-moving violation.
Otherwise, he gets points, his insurance will go up.
Possible a judge could drop it but there was a crash and the judge & cop will be concerned that... Read more »

You bet. Unfair insurance practice. They don't move, contact Attorney general's office and Insurance commissioners. Your car stopped. other car moving. Game over.
On Thanksgiving day, in the pouring rain, an individual put his truck in reverse and backed into my husband as he was leaving the JC Penny parking lot.
