Oh yeah, one last …
Oh yeah, one last thing! I am always thinking and if you want a really good job, just be honest about your mistake and ask your probation officer to write a letter for recommendation that you follow and did not give him/her any trouble. They are there to help, so do not them off! They are allowed to give you a letter of recommendation and some are allowed to give a certification when you complete your probation! A lot of people do not know this and you could use it for your job!

help with …
help with optimistic advice with what I can. I’m in your same situation. You feel like your life is over but it’s not! You only can either “fight or flight!” It’s just life brother! We all make mistakes and the ignorant people that make your life harder for judging you are in a far worse position than you are so you’re ahead already! Keep your head up! It’s just going to be a rough ride for a while and stay out of trouble since this DUI/DWI is there for life!

My license is only …
My license is only suspended for 90 days because I cooperated with the cop.I decided to blow because here they are straight up taking blood out of you if you refuse because of your Miranda rights.I was screwed anyways so why try and lie my way out of it?My lawyer and the papers I got said it was a misdemeanor. I just did more research of my own and found out it is a Class B. If you get caught here a 2nd time, it is a Class A. A 3rd time, it becomes a felony. I don’t judge no one, so I’ll (cont)

OK, I see. Just so you know, you can get your license after 120 days (try to find out more about it). How did you find out the type of your misdemeanor???

I am not going to lie. Having a DWI is looked down upon. It’s like you have “The Scarlett Letter.” Mine is a misdemeanor class B. I have my last court on March 24. My recommendation are 80 hrs community service, donate $10 to MADD, and all those classes and the interlock device and probation for one year. I have a good lawyer and he is tyring his best to lower that. If he lowers it great, if he doesn’t I still got lucky!

Did this DWI affect your employment opportunities? I got a DUI in Ga as well. I feel the same way you dobut I’m worried that this will affect future employment opportunities…

@Toadphillips field …
@Toadphillips field sobriety tests are horseshit almost no one can pass one, drunk or not, what theyre designed to do is make the officer dominate the situation and make the victim you more cooperative.

I just got a DWI in El Paso Texas. I cannot be mad at cops since I brought this upon myself. One always thinks it never will happen to them but it happened to me. Maybe the cop that pulled me over saved me from making this DWI into something else worse. Getting in a car accident, hurting myself or worse, hurting someone innocent. This helped me get closer to God. I learned nothing good comes out of alcohol so I resign to drink again. You’re on your right to judge people for being stupid.

I agree that age …
I agree that age means nothing when it comes to actual impairment, as for the zero tolerance, it is that way because you are not allowed to drink or be in possession of alcohol period. Having said that, I do believe that if a person is curently in the military then they should be allowed to drink. Old enough to go to war then old enough to drink, but only if they are serving there country. Certian laws are in my opion wrong, however I did swear to uphold all laws not just the one’s I agree with.

They said I smelled …
They said I smelled like alcohol… And they said I was going 35 in a 25, i’m not sure where, they didn’t stop me until after I parked.
The BAC was low but it doesn’t matter cause i’m not 21. Legal limit for under 21 is .02% or whatever, so it doesn’t matter if I got a .04% or whatever.
I completely understand you shouldn’t drive when drunk, but I wasn’t… I think the 21 drinking age is kind of dumb, at least for driving..
Why would a 19 year old be more impaired then someone 21?

I have never had a …
I have never had a problem looking anyone in the eye when I was arresting them or reading all of thier charges when they were being booked in. Never not even once.
I will agree on one point, some of the laws are messed up.
Just out of curiosity, honestly what was the reason for the stop and what did you blow?
I work off of a 4 clue minimun, meaning if you show at least 4 clues during fields, then you are arrested. I work overnights and wkds. I have not been wrong one time with this system

I wasn’t impaired…
innocent or not I think the laws are messed up.
And the cops that can’t even look you in the eye, when they’re charging you.

I’m not sure what …
I’m not sure what state your in, but where I live .08% only means that you are presumed to be impaired, you can still be impaired and not be over .08%. That is why we have 2 separate statutes on this one is DWI and one is BAC. Its kinda funny that every person arrested always say the same thing ” I’m innocent”.

What about when …
What about when your not imparied and you just park in your drive way to go to bed after eating at taco bell.
Are you kidding me? Then you pass the field test and still get arrested then you get under 0.08 at the station.
Fucking bullshit. cops.

I’ve been a cop for 11 yrs and have worked worked more alcohol related fatality crashes then non alcohol fatality crashes. People can complain all they want to, where I live the there are free taxi rides for those who are impaired. If they are to stupid to use them then they deserve to be arrested.

Nope. Won’t work. You have to blow into those interlockes every 10-20 minutes. And if you have been drinking, why would some one who hasn’t ride with you just to help you drive drunk?

Yeah funny how they can’t manage to return calls. I’M not sure who to despise more, lying cops, lawyers, it’s all a big racket designed to take your money. My advice to 1st time DUI folks is consider the big money it takes to probably lose vs. just either representing yourself or trying the public defender. Nearly $10K and other charges were levied 103 days later to add “probable cause” for the stop it’s not all over 13 months later.

Find a ” good …
Find a ” good lawyer.” There is no such thing. They’ll take your money just fine, getting them to return your calls is impossible. Lawyers are giant scumbags.
