What are the Penalties for a DUI first?
Attorney Franks: It depends on specific variables. For a a common motorists license it,s suspension for approximately four months a two hundred fifty to a one thousand dollar fine up to 2 days in jail and also going to a MASEP program or a Victims Impact Panel. If it is a commercial vehicle license after that the penalties are much more severe in the that they lose their license for as much as 1 year which can put them without a job. After that we additionally have people under age 21. Relying on their blood alcohol content they might be considering a penalty of $250 and a 3 month suspension of their license in addition to the training course. The real difference is they dont have the 2 days in jail and also they do not have the penalty up to $1000.
Is there any means I can be discovered not guilty?
Attorney Franks: Definitely. It's not uncommon to have a case rejected or head to court and have a person discovered not guilty. As a matter of fact the first trial I executed as a criminal justice attorney was a DUI 2nd offense and also the person was found not guilty on all the charges. It depends upon a great deal of points. It depends on the facts from when the persons pulled over. Did the officer have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop them? If they don't the remainder is moot. On top of that police officers are people also. They make blunders. They forget entering data called for to prosecute a person efficiently for a DUI. It is possible to obtain a not guilty judgment on a DUI. That's where I can help as a criminal justice attorney.
If I'm found guilty do I have to do jail time?
Attorney Franks: It can bring up to two days behind bars. However we request credit for time served. After that we ask the court to put on hold the remaining time and they will normally abide. The objective of courts is not to harm individuals. They want people to continue to be efficient people.
Can I beg to a lower crime?
Joey: No. The regulations are really clear on this.
