I hit a bench on my way home from dinner and was arrested for a DUI at my house after being home for about 15 minutes. I told the officer I had consumed two drinks upon returning home. I did take a breath test in the car and the officer would not show me the results. He just said I was .08 (.08 is the low end for being under the influence in Michigan) I asked several times to see the test results but he would not show them to me. At the hospital I took another blood test and it was .069 They took me to jail and I had to bond out. I am feeling like I am really getting hosed here. Was this arrrest even legal? Can a DUI arrests stand up under these circumstances? I live in a very small town.

hello sirs:
ive got a few basic questions about the law. my fiance was arrested for a misdemeanor DUI in July of 2005. The ticket included charges for 1)running a red light 2) driving on a suspended license 3)no insurance 4) dui
all of the charges were dropped; 5 months later, the misdemeanor dui aws upgraded to a felony bcuz the state "discovered" that he didn't have license at the time of arrest. in the police report, he told officer his license was suspended; this was not a new discovery. however, they indicted him due to the true bill found. let me ask you, CAN THE STATE PROVE THAT HE WAS DRIVING? ALL THOSE DRIVING MISDEMEANORS WERE DISMISSED BACK IN '05. THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN HIS TRUCK, WATERMELONS WERE STACKED IN THE BED OF THE LIMO TINTED TRUCK. HOW COULD THEY PROVE HE WAS DRIVING? admission, without more, is not reason enough to convict of driving under the influence.
*no blood test was done, only breath test
*i requested cop car video or booking tape- station says there was none recorded.
*ITS LEGAL TO DISMISS THOSE CHARGES, BUT UPGRADE TO FELONY WITHOUT CONVICTION OF DRIVING ON SUSPENDED LICENSE?
*we appreciate any info, or atleast the basic question answered of how the state could, on paper, prove he was driving, in trial.
he is incarcerated, me and his children are almost in need of food; he provided everything for us.
he is not being represented by a lawyer; if you know of one who could get this thrown out for a couple grand, please leave that info too

and can a dui be expunged? 1st time offender state of tennessee
in regaurd to mr.kuhner_us ,actually i was not driving at the time.i was in a big truck at the time{in another state} officers thought i was going to leave,when in reality i was laid over for the week end ,i admitted to drinking beer with the other drivers and refused to take a breath test{implied consent law violation}same thing as as if one was driving.there fore im trying to fix it.and i didnt think you were rude ,i agree with you.ive been on the road for 23 years with not so much as a scratch on my record.but being a smart ass with law enforcement is unadvisable,especially in west virginia.

I was pulled over on suspicion of a DUI in early July. My court date is just over a week away, and I haven't received the BAC results from the blood test I took. (I chose the blood test instead of the breath test). I was informed by an officer that I would recieve my results in 2-3 weeks.
The question I have is, am I entitled to those results in a timely fashion? Is it common for one not to receive their results until it is presented before them at an arrainment?
I understand that my results may have been lost in the mail, but should proof of sending the results be maintained?
(Los Angeles County)
