Remember that he has committed two _separate_ offenses. He violated California law by driving under the influence and violated military law (article 92 – failure to obey a lawful order or regulation).
The state of California is going after him for driving under the influence and the military is going after him for disobeying orders not to violate California’s DUI laws.
can a military member who is awaiting his civilian trail for a DUI be punished under article 111 or article 92
A Military Member was stopped by California HWY patrol for DUI, his command wants to punish him before he is convicted. His Command wants to charge him with Article 92 Failure to Obey an Order or regulation. The only problem is by law he has not been convicted. How can he be charge for a crime he has not been convicted of?
I have not heard of Diversion for DUI. Most of the time diversion involves drug cases. If you stay out of trouble and law abiding, the legal problem disappears and drops off your record eventually. I have never heard of diversion used for DUI, they take it too seriously to pawn it off on diversion. Though, I sometimes wonder why drug charges are treated less harshly than DUI? I am biased as a paralegal for a DUI defense attorney, but I have seen horrible drivers who I have no doubt pose much more danger than at least half of the clients we serve charged with DUI.
It depends. In MN, there is an issue going on with one manufacturer of breathalyzer equipment some police departments are using. The company that makes them are not releasing the code used in them, and judges are throwing cases out because of this. They are saying it’s violating the accused 6th Amendment right: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right … to be confronted with the witnesses against him”. In other words, the machine is the one that is providing the evidence, and the defense is claiming they have a right to exam the code to ensure it is measuring accurately.
Can you get a DUI while dog sledding?
Does anyone know if there has ever been a report of someone getting a DUI while dog sledding? My coworkers and I were talking and this came up, and we couldn’t find any information about if mushing dogs while intoxicated is actually a crime?
Any news articles/links/reports would be really helpful! Thanks
You can get a DUI if you aren’t driving a car. If you are in the car listening to the radio with the engine turned off and can proove the engine wasn’t turned on you will still get a DUI. It’s very common in Champaign Illinois (University of Illinois) and I’m sure a lot of other campuses for the police to give a DUI to people riding a bicycle. I’m sure that if you are controlling the dogs they would consider this DUI.
I know for a fact that Wisconsin finds people guilt for the automotive example above and Champaign/Urbana are in Illinois and I know the cities as least give DUI to intoxicated bicycle riders. Check the police reports or law there.
How is it possible to plead not guilty for a DUI?
I just read a news article that someone plead “Not Guilty” to a DUI. How is it possible to plead not guilty, isn’t there always proof for that?
What exactly is a DUI Diversion Program?
Do DUI diversion programs exist in Northern California? What exactly is this, and in what circumstances would someone want to participate in this kind of program? One article explained that attending a diversion program would enable someone to avoid a conviction by giving up the right to a speedy trial. Do people do this, and why? I have never heard of this before, so it seems to me that there must be a catch. Does this help the criminal or dmv case? Does the accused still have to pay fines, do community service, and attend other education classes as well?
