why  the police is  not cancelling the driver's lic of D U I ?

Wow!\n\nThe police do not actually cancel the driver's license.  Not local police.\n\nThe State Highway Patrol actually terminate your license.  A court will normally decide on the suspension of a license for other than a non-payment of a annual license fee.  The officer of the law simply writes the Citation, the "Ticket". The State Police or Highway Patrol is the Agency responsible for the issue and control statewide for the license, and will simply carry out the orders of the Court.  The "Court" is simply a Judge.  Local Police do not ordinarily carry out these duties , but if a Judge so orders they will so act.  Really nothing is unusual about it.\n\nSo the Police Officer can give you a break only at the time when he is writing the Citation, or just prior to actual Court.  Once a decision by a Judge has been rendered, it is out of the Officer's hands.  HE CANNOT CANCEL ANYTHING!\n\nAPS

becasue the legislative branch of the govt made it a law because the people of the nation said they don't want people driving and drinking at the same time.  The excutive(police) fine you for breaking it.   this is how america works.  the "game" may suck, but its the only one we have to play.

If a Ambulance was to run over someone they are legally bound to stop and help. In this case another unit would be dispacted to the orginall call. This just does not fall in line if the hit a pearsone but also if they are just out and about and see somthing happen they are still legally bound to stop.

You'll probably get a pricey fine, mark on your record and higher insurance rates if they don't cancel you first. Some states will restrict your license due to your age and some states offer defensive driving course to have the ticket dropped for a first offense.

That's begging for big trouble.\nIf anything happens the insurance is no good, they wont pay any damages.\nIf the owner of the car knowingly allows you to drive that's criminal charges most of the time.\nThe car can be impounded even without an accident.\nUnlicensed driving can keep you from getting a license later.\nYou can be hung up with no transportation far from home.\nIf the car gets stolen you cant turn it in to police. b\nla, bla,bla, so on and so on. \nDo something else.

They wouldn't make you surrender it physically, but they would ban you from driving for a certain time, and if you are caught doing it anyway, there would be bigger rouble pronto. Hope that demystifies it for you?

First you have illegals driving and owning vehicles this really impact our economy. If you happen to be involved in a car accident with someone who does not have insurance(regardless if is a legal driver or an illegal emigrant) we all the insured drivers are paying the consequences accident, medical bills, etc.  This is one of the reasons the insurance prices are sky high. If illegal emigrants are allowed to get driver licenses the government can keep a better record also if they get pulled over they can be issued a citation for whatever violation they committed and also for no liability insurance. i do believe that they need be issued a driver license with shorter expiration date so if they get tickets they will not be able to renew their DL until they comply with the law.

some times you can call the local police department and they can help. and even put a 24 hour notice on it. we did this at the auto parts store that i work at.

I was involved in a road rage incident where a young male tried to run me, my wife and two lads off the road.  The police were informed, given an accurate description and registration.  They did not act upon this and months later the idiot has caused a young woman to collide with a bus in Oxfordshire, resulting in her death.   My wife and i were contacted and have identified the idiot and will more than likely have to attend court, which we don't mind.  However, it is not going to give this 24 year old woman her life back!\n\nWhy do people have to rush around, speeding and being aggressive.  The maximum sentence for this kind of incident is 14 years.  The law needs to act upon this and impose stiffer penalties especially where loss of life is concerned.  \n\nI think any person who has caused a death due to agression and stupidity on the roads should have their licenced revoked indefinitely and if they are caught driving they should serve 5 years in prison each time they are caught.  The sentence for dangerous driving resulting in death should carry a 25 year sentence.\n\nThe government is too soft.  Money is more important in the eyes of the law, just pick up the newspapers and see the sentences imposed for money related crime or fraud or drugs.  The government needs to throw out an improved message about the value of life!

Hmm, good question.  Local newspaper will have it though...in a day or two.  You can try and check out the local police station website, don't know if maybe they list stuff like that.  I don't think there's too many ways to find out, people in accident probably don't want everyone gossiping about them.

because it is a huge revenue source for law enforcement. it is also an aid to justify taking away more of your rights. the highway patrol is trying to get a law passed in which they may stop you and swab your mouth to see if you are supposedly under the influence.

you get the ticket not the owner of the car so it won't do anything for them. for you it might help depended upon your insurance company check with them.

The government (in this case, the cop who wrote the ticket), always has the burden of proving their case (that *you* ran a red light).  You can show up for court and say nothing, if you like.  \n\nIf, after the cop testifies, you choose to speak, you can.  I'm assuming the cop has his/her reasons for thinking it was you driving, and I'd be willing to bet you contributed greatly to those reasons (switch seats with someone, did you?).\n\nNo, you (probably) don't have to say who the driver was.  The government has to prove that you were the driver and you are allowed to challenge that if you want to try, but it's still the government's burden to prove their case.  However, if you just show up and tell the judge "it wasn't me," you're not likely going to get very far.\n\nEDIT 4.19.06:\n\nSo you've answered your own question, haven't you?  The notice says you may (not must) say who the driver really was.\n\n???

They're blaming the cops because the state has more money they can sue for.\n\nThe criminal running away is 100% at fault.

There was probably more to it than just having the keys in his pocket. If your friend told the officer that he had driven the car, or if your friend's friend happened to mention something, or if neither your friend or your friend's friend had a driver's license, then the officer may have had probable cause to issue the ticket.\n\nOn the other hand, if you friend decides to fight the ticket, the government will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that your friend drove the vehicle. \n\nGood luck!

Sometime police wait until the registration information comes back from the dispatcher (we don't have computers in our cars here and have to get the dispatcher to check). Sometimes the computer is very slow and it takes a while.  The police officer may have been waiting for a safe well lit area to stop you in or may have suspected you of drunk driving and was observing your driving to see how you were doing.  He could also have been waiting for backup to get closer.  We usually don't stop vehicle unless we notify the dispatcher first, if there is lots of officers on the radio, you have to wait for airtime.  Lots of reason for not stopping you immediately.  If the officer did not lose sight of your vehicle you are out of luck.  Take it to court and see what happens.

Well, they are breaking the law by disturbing the peace. But the police will not do anything. So why would you be arrested for causing minor damage to their cars?   If you were arrested, you could plead  insanity due to their  driving you nuts with their loud music, violating your privacy. That way, you would be not guilty by reason of insanity, and guess what?\nnothing they can do about the damage you done, because they drove you to do it in the first place.\nSince those loud idiots refuse to turn down the volume, they deserve all the damage anyone can do to their cars.
