FAQ
Drunk driving suspects can expect to spend at least two hours answering questions, being fingerprinted and photographed, and submitting to chemical testing of the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC). A driver could spend a few hours before they are released, or it may take up to a few days.
For felony offenses, which are more serious crimes, the DA has three years from the date of the alleged offense to file charges. However, there are certain exceptions to this rule. For example, if a DNA match is found in connection with the crime, then the DA may have an additional year to file charges.
In most cases, law enforcement officers attend DUI trials in California. DUI offenses are taken seriously by the criminal justice system, and officers play a key role in presenting evidence for the prosecution.
A: Unlike in some states, jail time is uncommon for a first-time DUI offense in California. A first-offense conviction can result in penalties such as misdemeanor probation, DUI school, fines, and license suspension. However, jail is only typical in certain California counties or if other factors exacerbate the crime.
Fine: $390 to $1,000 plus penalty assessments. DMV suspends license 6- 10 months; surrender license to court. Jail: 48 hours (optional) to 6 months.
If you are arrested for Driving Under Influence (DUI) in California, the arrest will be recorded and may be accessible to the public. This can have serious consequences for your personal and professional life.
Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol are typically charged with two DUI counts; driving under the influence of alcohol in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) VC and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 23152(b) VC.
NEW LAW (EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 9, 2022) The new law mandates that any newly imposed DUI sentences be imposed consecutively if the individual has two or more prior offenses (with one exception noted below). This addition will be added as § 3804(c. 2) under to the existing “Penalties” part of the law.
A: For a first DWI offense in New York, you face a fine of $500 to $1,000, up to one year in jail, a minimum six-month license suspension, and a required installation of an ignition interlock device (IID). If your BAC was between 0.05% and 0.07%, you may instead be charged with a DWAI by alcohol.
Best Case. If you have been pulled over for allegedly driving under the influence, the best-case scenario you could hope for is that the officer(s) failed to gather enough evidence against you or made procedural, technical, or constitutional mistakes before, during or following your arrest.
