The State apparently believes that you drove the car earlier prior to it being inoperable. That is sufficient facts for the charge of DUI.

Not sure of your question, but you have stated alot of facts on a public forum. If charged with DUI, that is your main concern. Hire a competent attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. Apparently your actions or statements caused the LEO's to think you had the capability of... View More
It's been over 5 years since. I have no other court fees to pay and no other charges. The DA in Wilson County, Tn told me the Implied Consent charge couldn't be dismissed. After she done rigorous research on the topic, which took 3 days, she couldn't find the answer of why it... View More

Mandatory Minimum of 120 days, and up.
Taken to an ambulance service where 2 EMTs both stuck me one time each, and were both unsuccessful with obtaining my blood. Will this be used against me somehow as possibly violation of the Implied Consent law? I don’t see how it could be considering I did not refuse, and voluntarily agreed to test

The DA will probably claim you refused the Test, which you should have. But you can contest that administrative suspension of your TNDL, and might be successful. Were you even charged with Implied Consent? Hire a competent attorney for a thorough Preliminary Examination now.

You were found in violation of Implied Consent. Apparently you did not try to get a restricted TNDL, so you have to now for the year to make DOS happy. Refusal of the test is a violation. However it is much better than getting convicted of DUI, so you were correct in refusing.

Your lawyer can ask for it, but that Crime carries a 120 mandatory minimum Sentence, and will be denied to at least that extent.

Most DUI convictions do not cause a firearm disability. Just because you cannot pass the instant check does not mean you cannot arm yourself and purchase from an individual. Hire a competent attorney that knows firearms to look at your convictions and so advise.

Apparently you have already confessed to driving. So a strong DUI charge has been made. A good lawyer may find other problems though, which is his job. Prepare for a thorough Preliminary Hearing, and stay out of trouble.
Do a plea deal and they do it anyways does that violate victim rights

Hire a competent attorney now. TN has always held if you are capable of driving, whether you physically are or not, then DUI can be charged.

To my knowledge a DUI Conviction does not affect such employment. If you have some sort of License, and there is a complaint, you might have to deal with that Regulatory Agency.. Tennessee is a Terminate At Will State anyway.

It is a Class E Felony and at least 150 days in jail, with a $ 3K Fine. Hire a competent attorney. You may not have much to lose by trying it. Reducing it to a non felony 3rd offense might be the best solution.
