Probation: In some cases, a judge may impose probation instead of jail time, requiring the offender to comply with certain conditions, such as attending counseling or treatment programs, abstaining from alcohol consumption, and regularly reporting to a probation officer.
Once you've been arrested for DUI, the state of Arizona suspends your driver's license immediately for 90 days.
License Suspension If you get convicted of a DUI the record of the conviction of the DUI will get forwarded to the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles (AZ MVD). Your license is automatically suspended when you are served with an Admin Per Se Form. The officer will physically confiscate your Arizona Driver's License.
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.
To reinstate your license after a DUI in Arizona, you must complete a series of steps including serving your suspension period, attending required programs, installing an ignition interlock device (if applicable), paying fines, and applying for reinstatement with the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD).
That might seem unfair, but in Arizona driving is a privilege rather than a right. That means you can't argue that your rights are being violated by the suspension; instead, you are simply being denied the privilege of driving. The suspension of your license will generally begin 15 days after the traffic stop.
Yes, arrest records are public in Arizona. Arizona Public Records Law empowers members of the public to query state law enforcement agencies for arrest records within their jurisdiction and also query the Arizona Department of Public Safety for state-wide arrest information.
First-time offenders face a mandatory jail sentence ranging from 45 consecutive days to as long as six months. Fines for Super Extreme DUI are notably higher than those for Extreme DUI. Additionally, the period for which an ignition interlock device must be installed in the offender's vehicle is extended.
