Typically no, as it is only used for establishing probable cause to make an arrest based on a DUI.

They will most likely add it later or it is on the original citation. The ticket someone gets when charged with a DUI is just a copy. The original citation goes to the court. It can be amended up to the day of trial. So the officer not signing or leaving off their badge number is not necessarily a... View More

While the wrong information on the ticket is not in and of itself enough to get the charges dismissed, it sounds like you may have a viable defense to the DUI. I'd be curious to know the basis for them giving you a DUI.

You should definitely plead not guilty, and then get an attorney who can look at all of the facts and circumstances of your case.

It really depends on several factors, including whether the DUI carried an actual conviction, or whether it was non-adjudicated, as well as whether it was your first DUI. Your best bet is going to be get with a criminal defense attorney to further discuss and see whether it can be expunged.

It will likely be your first, since the 2016 one was non-adjudicated.

Unfortunately, no. The law presumes that every citizen knows that law, particularly when it comes to DUI and implied consent.
First I was found having a pipe and grinder and for this I was let go with a warning. Later I was cought having smoked In a room. However there was no marijuana remaining when I was found. What is the criminal punishment for this. I am also under the age of 18.

You may just be looking at a misdemeanor; however, regardless, given that it was just a drug-related crime, you should consider reaching out to an attorney, as the attorney may be able to work something out with the prosecutor so that you avoid jail time.

That being said, many attorneys may be willing to work with you in terms of setting up a payment plan to cover your legal... View More

That decision would normally be made by someone much higher up in the police agency, most likely the chief of police or county sheriff, as the case may be. Also, if the recording of the stop is part of an ongoing investigation or criminal prosecution, the prosecutor would have some input into that... View More
Have not had licenses since 91..would the 91 DUI still be on my driving records for west virginia??
answered on Sep 18, 2016
You need to check your driving record to see if you have any open suspensions, revocations or holds from your previous state. To get a new license, you must be clear in all other states.
