this is a first offense, 19 yrs old, says there were 2 beers consumed, was never given a sobriety test of any kind

they will likely give you community service and probation, i used to work at the YMCA and most everybody that came in there was for a consumption ticket, they give them 100 hours of community service and probation. Or if there was no test that they gave you, i think that you might be able to fight that and drop it.

I have. I used to work two jobs so sleep was a luxury for me, it was about 12:30 am just after midnight I was pulled over and was told that I was drinking, I had just come from work at a warehouse filled with food products but not a drop of alcohol on the premises anywhere, after an illegal search of my car and about five Breathalyzer test (he accused me of holding my breath) he finally let me go.

In today's climate 2 DUIs are definitely not good at all. Get a good lawyer to work with the DA and get into outpatient substance abuse counseling. You can probably get off with probation and continued counseling. I wish you luck whatever happens. One last word: If drinking is causing you problems, you might have a problem with drinking.

Your question is a little vague.  What state did this happen in?  Are you (or are any of the occupants) of the vehicle on probation or parole?  Did you give permission for your vehicle to be searched?  Do you know why it was searched?  Were alcohol or drugs in the vehicle (or was there any indication that alcohol or drugs were in the vehicle?) When you say it was seized, are you referring to the police actually taking it away from you, or are you just saying it was seized while they searched it?  You ask what to do...depends on what happened.  Were you cited?  Arrested?  Was contraband of some kind found?  The issue of probable cause to search anything can often hinge on very small details...I'll suggest that you're going to have a difficult time finding cases that will assist you in getting an education.  You can try searching through FindLaw.Com and see where that gets you.  If nothing came of the search (nobody was arrested or cited or anything), then perhaps you want to consider complaining about the officer's action to his department.  If something came of it, and you're going to court, then you need to speak with an attorney.  I may be able to help you sort some of this out if you'd like, but we'd probably need to do that in email.  Post an address if you'd like...

Gotta sort some things out:\n\nYou said you were arrested because the bouncers said you were drunk, uncooperative, and didn't want to pay your tab.  So what, exactly did you get arrested for, and how do you know what it was?  You should have something available to you that lists the charges you were booked on.\n\nLater in your question, you do say you were arrested for drunk in public, but you also mention the warrant.  I'm asking about this drunk in public arrest, because either you were really a jerk to the cops, or they chose to do more work than they needed to...if a guy is so drunk that he's a problem, AND he has a warrant, everybody I know just arrests for the warrant and disregards the drunk in public charge.  An arrest report for a warrant is much simpler than an arrest report for being drunk in public, and it accomplishes the same thing.\n\nBut...I'll assume you have the facts in order, and you were arrested both for the warrant and the drunk in public charge.  So now you want to know what punishment you'll get, what you should do, and if it's worth "fighting."\n\nWhat should you do, and is it worth fighting:\n\nIt sounds like you aren't disputing any of these things.  If you're a guy who just wants to apologize to the Court for screwing up and take your lumps, then that's what you should do.  If you're a guy who isn't especially interested in being held accountable for what you have and have not done, then fight it tooth and nail and hire a really expensive attorney.  You might be able to beat the drunk in public charge...you never know.  Seems like it's going to be a little difficult to beat the warrant, though.\n\nNobody here is going to know what punishment you're going to get, for a host of reasons.  Drunk in public is a misdemeanor, and you can do up to a year in jail and pay a $1,000 fine for it.  That, however, would take an act of God, assuming you even get prosecuted for it (a lot of District Attorney's offices aren't interested in prosecuting a guy for a first offense drunk in public charge, except...)\n\n...if you are still on probation and being arrested for drunk in public (or for consuming alcohol) is a violation of your probation.  Since you had your DUI reduced to a wet reckless (note spelling), it would surprise me a little if you didn't have some kind of alcohol-related terms.  Plus, as one of the other posters has mentioned, summary probation typically includes an "obey all laws" clause and it would seem you failed to do that...maybe.  Violating probation can result in jail time, and you're kind of at the mercy of the court on that one...there is no truth to the rumor that you will do whatever time your original sentence would have been, had you not accepted probation.   You might do more, you might do less.  DUI is punishable by 48 hours in jail, but I have seen PLENTY of people violate DUI probation and get five, ten, fifteen, or thirty days in jail because of it.\n\nThere's probably quite a bit more we could talk about, but it would take forever, there are lots of variables, and I'd need more information than you've posted, anyway.\n\nI'm a big believer in owning up to what you've done, but I'm also a big believer in safeguarding your rights.  You would probably do well to at least consult with an attorney and see what you think after that.

Nope, you should go to jail for the maximum amount of time they can keep you there and loose your driver license for good.  You not only disregarded your own safety but put other innocent lives in danger when you drove drunk.  You obviously disregarded the law since you did this not once, not twice, but three times.  The third time should be the charm.  It seems this is the only way innocent people can be protected from you.  I sorry, but you get no sympathy from me regarding this behavior.

You are an adult.  Even the clergy are allowed to have a beer.  If you get fired, you'll be rich.  Unless its a condition of a contract you signed.  But then again, the burden of proof lies with the accuser.\n\nThis is off time for you.  And this is your private life.\nYou are not doing anything morally or ethically wrong.\n\nIf a parent gets pissed about this, remind them of that.

you were wrong for drinking in the car, and underage. i don't blame your cousin for leaving you, he did not want someone drinking in the car which is also against the law. you both could have been in big trouble for your dumb actions. he could have lost his driving privileges. where were your parents?

I am sure that was a .64  since a .08 or a .10 is legal drunk,  and a .6 would be basicly dead.\n\nWhat you will be ticketed for ( and normally sent to your parents) will be a minor in possession  and I would say that most likely the parent there should be in jail now if the officer did thier job property for allowing unage to drink and providing it, ( even if they did not physcialy provide it, since it was there and they were there)\n\nNormally you will have either a fine or community service and osme probation time.\n\nBut no, they can send a ticket to you in the mail, not uncommom or come latter and arrest you and take you in and make your parents come down and get you out of lock up.

that would be? 10 years ago is not counted with this new offense unless you were extreme DUI or injured someone. That is a pretty high reading. You go to jail in most states at .08. thank the cop for giving you a break and citing and releasing you. the other drunks may have puked on you.

Generally, it's a 93 day misdemeanor.  Here's a little blurb from the statute:\n\n257.625(10) A person who is convicted of violating subsection (2) is guilty of a crime as follows: \n\n(a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not less than $100.00 or more than $500.00, or both.\n\nThere are a few questions, however.  First, was this car your son's car?  If not, was he "in charge" of the car at the time he gave her control of it?  Second, did he "authorize or knowingly permit" her to drive the car?  Third, and most importantly, was he aware that she was intoxicated when he permitted her to drive the car?  If it took the police officer more than few minutes to determine that she was intoxicated after the cop had her perform field sobriety tests and a breath test, it's unlikely your son would have been able to determine that she was drunk from a layperson's perceptive. \n\nThe issues that arise in these cases are next to impossible.  Unless your son freely admitted to the police that he knew she drunk and let her drive anyway, they'll have an uphill battle, especially if an attorney files a discovery request.  I haven't seen many of these cases, even though I only do DUI defense.  It's rare to see one of these cases prosecuted because of the difficulties the prosecutors encounter.  \n\nWilliam Maze

Bench probation is standard in all misdemeanor cases, very rarely will you get in trouble for it. However in this case it appears they are aggressively pursuing the charge which I find odd for a drunk in public. I would say you are charged with PC 647 (f) disorderly conduct as with most misdemeanors you can be confined for a year with hefty fines. I think the reason your attorney is telling you to plead not guilty is to leave some room for plea bargaining. He may be able to plea away the drunk in public for a violation of probation, they may even want you to pay the disputed bar tab. I have never seen a drunk in public vigorously pursued before, they are generally a case of dry out and kick out, unless you are a repeat offender then treatment comes into play.

First of all, never get really drunk at a bar again!;) Secondly, I think you should shower, go to a dr to get tested for STD's, then relax and know that it wasn't exactly your fault that this happened (other than the fact that you got wasted)....alcohol makes people do things they would never normally do. Your main concern right now should be to get checked out by a physician to make sure you haven't contracted anything. Then, if you are okay, just try to move on from this episode. WHen you were drunk you didn't realize what exactly happened, and it is like a bad dream. If you look at it that way, then you might be okay!\nGOOD LUCK! My main advice: NEVER GET THAT DRUNK AGAIN!

Call the police.  If he put his filthy hands on you, that is assualt.  He might be on probation, so I would look into that.  He couldn't so drunk one of these days and no telling what he might do.  And your daughter is witnessing this behavior?  She might think it's okay for a strange, drunk man to be treating you this way.  Do something immediately.  I worked in  a prison for 8 years, I know how those offenders act and I would not want any of them living next door to me.  I'm not saying all of them are the same but he haven't seemed to change.

hello, I see this kind of thing happen a lot, as I fequently must go to my local court house.  If you have never been in trouble before and don't have a record, they will most likely put you on a 6 month probation period.  Drug testing could be a serious option for you but if you pretty much have a clean record you will get off easy.  You definatly wont see any jail time for this offense.  It really depends on how much marajuana you were caught with and also what the DA(defense Attorney) would like out of you. Don't worry about it.  Just stay out of trouble from now on!

You need to find an A.A. counselor, not someone to get drunk with.  Get help now.
