I would suggest you to contact your local media (newspaper, tv, radio) and tell them your story.  This is a interesting story that will draw attention to your situation and hopefully a resolution.  Good luck!

What do you mean? lawyers don't help! Unless you want to be convicted. Try checking out (search)"outlaws legal service" these guys can help.

It wouldn't really matter. A cop arrests you because you broke the law. They don't care what your political choise is so why would it matter to you?

Help us out. How did he contact you? There are exceptions in the DUI laws that allow a police officer to arrest you without observing you driving. Provide some more details and we might be able to guide you better.

If this was not his first offense, I would assume he has a probation/parole officer.  If so, have him contact his PO and turn himself in.  If it was a first time offense, call the DA and have him 'turn himself in'--he will probably be arrested on the warrant, but could be out on bail in a few hours.  Taking the first step by voluntarily surrendering will be much better for him in the eyes of a judge than being stopped for a minor traffic violation and arrested on the warrant because he got 'caught'.  Added plus is that if he is guilty--turning himself in may influence the judge's decision at sentencing.

what was the ticket for? Are you SURE it's a bogus ticket, were you speeding, not signaling, etc? Usually, even in Hickville, etc., cops are held to a pretty high standard, there. I'd re-read the ticket and really think on it. Don't just be biased, make SURE you were doing right. If not, then fess up, and pay the ticket.\n\nI read your addition to the original, if I was you I'd pay the ticket...then MOVE. Or, just avoid that town from now on. Pay it, under protest, then take the whole thing and mail it to the state atty. general, let them deal with it...

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.

I'm amazed at some of the questions people ask on here! You know what? Why don't you just try to sneak some drugs into the jail and see what happens! My guess is if you're willing to do something clearly that stupid, you deserve to be in jail anyway!

first offence? probably a caution mate which just means that you were up to something dodgy but they aint gonna take up jail space.\n\ndont worry too much

The easiest and probably safest way would be to contact an attorney and have them find out for you.  Calling the police won't help as that info will not be given over the phone.  If you go in and there are charges, you will be arrested on the spot.  So, I suggest you contact an attorney.

Dude, if you're talking to the cops you're goin' DOWN!\n\nBest way to avoid jail is not to do anything that makes the cops want to talk to you.\n\nUnder the radar, bro! Under the radar!

I believe that providing a false name to the police is an offence.\nbut if you're worried about ur safety then talk to the cops about it.

Okay, you've got some good advice here and some useless advice.  I'll offer mine in addition and see what happens.\n\nI'm confused: a woman has been stalking you, but a man was taking pics of the inside of your apartment...??\n\nBut you're asking for advice:\n\nMove.  Seriously.  If you really believe that your life is in danger, move.  Now.  People take the position that "I'm not being pushed out of here by these crazy people" and then live months or years, constantly looking over their shoulders.  I guess you can if you want, but if moving solves the problem, do it.  I know that's not a good answer for a lot of people...but if we are talking about your life, what's more important?\n\nSounds like your last contact with the police was on the 8th, right?  Don't wait for them to call you and let you know what's going on...call them, and ask what's going on.  Have there been any arrests?  What's the status of the investigation?  Can they offer you a temporary or emergency protective order?  Who is the officer or detective handling the case?  When can you speak with them?  What do they recommend you do, based on their investigation?  Where can you go to seek some legal advice or representation?  \n\nI don't know that I'd be so quick to get to the media as some have suggested.  I would certainly make every effort to work within the police department and seek your results through them, rather than possibly embarrass them or yourself in the media.  \n\nIt's late and I'm beat....but I'd be happy to help you sort some more of this out if you'd like.  You can email me at my user name at yahoo.com.  Really need to know what state you're in, though.

I am certain that yes, technically,you are breaking the law (and could be ticketed!). The best thing to do in this situation is to make local municipal officials aware of the situation (go to them prepared-take a map, photographs, and all pertinant information). Your city planning department or police department may be of help. Such situations must be commonplace. It may simply be a street-planning oversite. Good Luck!

Call them from a pay phone.  The courthouse or police station/sheriff's office will advise you.  Also, if it's a misdemeanor, turn yourself in and get it over with.  Believe me, it's not worth looking over your shoulder for for so long.  Eventually they'll catch you anyways and then it'll be worse.
