Do u think dui laws have gone to far and do u consider it a 'what if' crime?

yes or no. And federal gov gives states money to arrest drivers. Why now is it all a big deal when in the 80s and earlier it was a traffic offense. And doesnt a crime have to be against a person or property. Why give a dui when someone is in their yard sitting in there car>

What are my chances of doing jail time for a 1st time DUI in Maryland?

I'm a 22 year old college student who made a terrible decision 1 night. I was pulled over and charged with DUI (blew 0.1) and Reckless/Negligent Driving. I also have a pending Driving on a Suspended License charge from early this year (license was reinstated before DUI). I understand that I face up to a year in jail for DUI but based on EXPERIENCE (not a state DUI law fact sheet), what kind of punishment am I possibly looking at?

Also, I was in the enlistment process for the USMC at the time the DUI. Although it will be near impossible for me to enlist now, I still am working towards it. Would a judge be willing to help me by expunging the charge from my record to help me serve my country? I understand my mistakes and would be willing to plea out or do extra jail time to get to be able to accomplish my goal of serving.

Impact of DUI on Government Employment Background Check?

admin — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 11:08:32 +0000

I am a law student and have been charged with DUI (I know, not an ideal situation). I have an otherwise spotless record and am wondering the impact of a conviction on potential government employment--be it local, state, or federal. I have been accepted for an internship with the federal public defender's office and am wondering if a conviction (or even arrest) will disqualify me. I was honest about the situation on my application form. Is a first DUI a disqualification from public sector legal employment? Thanks.

Relevance of a DUI 15 years ago when applying for jobs?

My father in law is applying for a new job at a factory. In the application it asks if you have ever been convicted of a criminal offence for which you were not pardoned. He was convicted of DUI over 15 yrs ago. He put this on the application but he's wondering the likelyhood that he would be hired despite this. Will a potential employer scrap his application or will he still be considered?
We live in Canada. He was going to get a pardon but it's around 00.00.

I live in a small town where big trucks, big motors, and fast cars is a cool thing. I live abt. 10 minutes from the river bottoms where one day my fiance', me,and two other friends were on our way to the mud holes in our jeep. While riding to the gravel roads we had a convertible camaro come up behind us fast and revved his motor and then passed us in a no passing zone. After he did that he slowed down really agging us on but we just passed him and went straight on to where the gravel road began and he tromped down side ways and went around the curve on blacktop. Half way throught the bottoms a sheriff car passed us then turned around followed us abt. 1/4 of a mile then pulled us over cause the off duty officer said we were driving crazy and drinking granted my fiance had just started drinking cause we wasn't coming out of the bottoms we was just muddin and gonna camp there. They charged him with a dui however when they did the second test at the jail he wasn't over the limit?!.
AFTER BEING TAUNTED BY AN OFFICER WHO WAS DOING THE WREKLESS DRIVING PASSING IN A NO PASSING ZONE TROMPING HIS CAR SIDEWAYS WANTING TO RACE AND WE DECLINED WE DID HAVE BEER IN A JEEPWITH THE TOP OFF SO HE SEEN IT AND WE WERENT EVEN ON A STATE ROAD WE WERE IN THE RIVER BOTTOMS ON A GRAVEL ROAD

Ok, if someone has a d.u.i. and they are a passenger in a car and the driver is intoxicated, could the passenger get a second Dui?
I am asking because my friend has a DUI and has to attend classes and he said he was told this. I dont think it makes sense so was checking to see if anyone else knew of this law. I know what DUI stands for

Felony Probation and got a DUI, what happens?

Felony Probation and got a DUI, what happens?
A year ago my brother was sentenced to 3 years probation for forging his gf's checks. We are talking thousands of dollars. It was mostly for alcohol. The judge put him on probation for 3 yrs with random drug & alcohol testing (which in a years time the court never did a random test). Well, about 3 wks ago my brother got a DUI. He got it for DUI, no ins, container, wrongfull u-turn. The breath test read a 2.8 alcohol level, here in NE legal limits are I think 0.8. He refused a blood test that night & had to b on suicide watch cause he kept mouthing off to cops in the jail. His gf bailed him out 24hrs later. He also got a ticket for fictisious plates on another car about 2 months b 4 and hasn't paid that ticket. He hasn't been paying all his probation fee's, etc drug testing monthly fee's, etc. He had court yesterday for his DUI, he asked 4 an attorney so they rescheduled his court for Sept 22. With his felony charge,DUI, probation, breaking probation, fictious plate ticket, then does it look as if he may serve jail or prison time. My brother has been in jail b for 4 bad checks. He hasn't been a good person. He needs to wake up and smell that rum doesn't go in the coffee. We live in Nebraska. Any 1 know where I may b able to find the laws for this. The family just wants to b prepared as to what may happen. I love my brother to death but we have all had enough and he is going to end up killing himself or others if he doesn't change. Any help or information or links would b greatly appreciated. Thank E1
