What are the 1st offense penalties for a dui in the state of Illinois?
I was arrested for a dui on private property.

I was arrested for a dui on private property. The arresting officer stated there would be no suspension due to the the fact I was on private property, but after talking to a few others, it seems that I could lose my liscense for quite some time. I have no prior driving record and my bac was .176.
My vehicle was stuck in the mud in a private driveway. I was standing outside waiting for my g/f to pick me up because I was clearly way to intoxicated to drive. Police arrived just before she did and stated I must have drove there drunk, which is not accurate. Normally in this state, your liscense is suspended at the time of arrest, yet mine was not.
They just changed the law and I think it has already taken effect. First time offenders now are required to have the Breathalyzer ignition lock in their car and a 6 month minimum suspension. But I’m not positive when it takes effect.
It should be prison time anyone who drinks and drives is an idiot and doesn’t deserve to drive ever again!!!
You have to make a donation to the Chicago police widow’s fund, to Cook County, the Chicago Mayor’s office, to the Governor, or to the Obama campaign (discreetly).
i found a website that will help you with that question.

First of all you’re jumping the gun. GET A LAWYER. If the facts are correct you have only been arrested. Also, on private property? There has to be more to it than that. You had to have run into something or destroyed something. I state policeman can’t even come onto private property without some other extenuating circumstance. Also, DUI can’t be imposed on private property, it’s only for public streets.
It’s like saying the police came into my house and arrested me for public intoxication. Can’t be done.
The general penalties in most states [ to answer your question anyway ] :
1. fines from a couple hundred to a thousand
2. dui school
3. some sort of attendance to a victim’s impact group
4. county jail time from days to a month or instead community service
5. in cases of excessive BAC levels [like yours], a alcohol abuse assessment, and resulting in alcohol counseling
6. suspension of drivers license for up to 90 days
7. possible installation of the ignition device for 6 months
If you’re leaving out some key fact like … you ran into a woman and a baby carriage,.. it could be raised to a felony charge and you could go to state prison. [ i suspect you're leaving something out, just a nagging suspicion i have ]
Your state may play around with the numbers, but I’ve looked at several and they all have that general format.
