It sounds like you are asking about a municipal offense. Therefore it depends on which municipality you are in. You should call and attorney in that city.

What is your LA question about a 1994 CO DWI conviction?
My 1 yr refusal suspension was up Nov.5, 2019 but the DMV is requiring an interlock device and proof of sr22 to reinstate license. I am fighting the charges and have not been convicted. How can they make me pay for interlock when i don't drink and took the breathalyzer?? I took my... View More

I understand it's frustrating, but while you are on bond, you are subject to the conditions of the Court and Judge. So while you are out enjoying your freedom, the Judge can require you to have a blow machine. If alcohol is not the issue then maybe your lawyer can get the Interlock removed... View More

It depends on the circumstances. It's hard to understand why you were not arrested after the first one.
I refused 3 times , he told me i was going to stay in jail the rest of the night if i didn't blow the second time. i refused because The machine malfunctioned the first time and i told him i believed it to be faulty .

You may very well have a good defense. Hire a criminal attorney.
Does each DWI 10yr period seperate? Meaning the ten yr cleansing would it start when the offense is complete? Probation parole jail whatever the sentence was? Does one DWI roll over into the second once it's complete?

I don't think you are getting this correct. Call your public defender or the private attorney that represented you.

I only got to blow once and I blew .06 does the cop have to have me take two samples or just the one
answered on Jul 7, 2019
Just one breathiluzer sample. He does not ot get a retake. He can ask for a urine or blood next to check for drugs.
But didn’t have a lot to drink. I didn’t want automatic suspension which would have happened. I blew under limit .051 which the trooper didn’t inform me of instead he came back in and wanted blood or pee and as I was unclear what that meant I asked if a real doctor would take blood and if not...

I mean you had alcohol "spilled" on your clothes. The cop was trying to determine if there were also drugs in your system. You need to get a drug hair test NOW and hire a criminal lawyer.
I was arrested for these offenses also was in a vehicular accident, I’m curious on what the minimum charges could become when my court date arrives , the even took place in St. John Parish , Louisiana.

This stays a misdemeanor. If you plead or are found guilty, you will have safe driving class, substance abuse assessment, 48 hrs community service, fine, court costs, ignition device.
I am 20 years old, I got pulled over swerving all over the road and filed the FST and my BAC was like a .137 . I made bond pretty fast and I’m worried they are gonna give me jail time. Is there a good chance they give me jail time?

Depends on if it was your first, second or third and whether you have priors. Hire a criminal attorney now.

Talk to his criminal attorney. Your question is unclear.
Prior Dwi arrest vs conviction in computation of 10 years. ChEckpoint- blew o.0 then required or tricked her into submitting urine. Why at chEckpoint when blew 0.0 , can they require 2nd chemical test and told would lose license if not? Then charged with dui?

Ten years from the date the earlier probation was completed.
Clearly they were checking for under the influence of drugs.
