It seems that we could be tougher when it comes to DUI what do you think?Do we need to become tougher or do you think the laws are appropriate
I got a DWI 3 years ago… I went to the first hearing right after I got it and they wanted to give me probation. I never heard from the court again. Now 3 years after I get a letter for another hearing… I went to the hearing and I asked what took so long. They said the court lost my file. They are still trying to give me the same amount of probation that was originally offered. Is there not some sort of penalty against them for losing my file and taking so long? Should my case get dismissed or at least reduced? I have to go back for another hearing in a couple of weeks
my husband was sick and at the hospital. they said he was drunk, among other things. we don’t have alcohol in the house and he hasn’t drank in 20 years. family was with him all day and swears he didn’t drink. the hospital said he a high blood alcohol level.
I received a moving violation and the officer wrote down on the citation that the car was registered to me, though it is in-fact registered to my father. Is it possible to get this violation dismissed on those grounds? I live in Los Angeles. Thank you for your help in advance
My fiance legally has 0 points on his license. It hasnt been suspeneded yet. How long will it take for any points to get back on his license? I think his last offense was like 6 months ago? Not to sure on that. If anyone knows how long it will take for the points to come back on his license I would appreciate a response! Thanks

I want to move from here (california) to Florida, but I’m concerned my license might be revoked there if I have a DUI here.
