DUI Statute of Limitations/etc. in California?
344946
First of all, there is no issue with the statute of limitations. That only applies when the DA's office hasn't brought any charges. Your friend has already been convicted of DUI, hence, the DA's office brought charges against her. \n\nSecond, the warrant is probably in the NCIC computer system. If she hasn't completed all of her court ordered requirements, then she may not be able to get a driver's license in Florida. She needs to set things straight before she leaves. \n\nFinally, they probably won't tell you anything about her. She is a grown adult.

Ouch.  You're not gonna' like this: it's not seven years any more; it's ten.  So you're going to court on your third DUI, and that's going to be a little pricey.\n\nYou will probably do at least 120 days in jail (up to a full year) and have your license revoked.  There's a slim chance you'll only have to do thirty or more days, but I don't know how likely that is.  Your fine will range from a minimum of $390 to a maximum of $1,000.\n\nIf you get a fourth DUI within the ten years allowed, you're going to prison for at least a year.  \n\nNot to preach, but dude - you've got to quit drinking and driving before you kill someone.  I imagine the judge will tell you something along those lines when you're sentenced.

yes you can request a copy, but as far as i know there is not limit on dui reporting so always list it and the date so they can see it and if its been 10 years and you have a clean record there should be no problem.

"He" better be careful because if he gets a certain amount of strikes, he can be put away for a few years (at least 25) WITHOUT the chance of parole.\n\nThree Strikes Law (it doens't only apply to California): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_strikes_law#_note-0\n\nDUI/DWI's can be turned into felonies allowing the Three Strikes Law to occur: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_under_the_influence#United_States

It's completely up to the laws of your state.  If you're in California, and if you have a good driving record, you don't have to take tests when your license expires.  All states are different, though.

I am an attorney in California, but I do not practice criminal law.\n\nI strongly urge you to go to an attorney who specializes in DUIs. Your fiance has much bigger problems than worrying about whether the offense committed when he was 15 counts. To my knowledge, juvenile records are expunged, although you might need to request an expungement. The offense won't necessarily be counted, but if the record is not expunged, it will still show on the prior offenses, and the judge, though  not counting it as an offense, will take it into consideration.\n\nAside from the offense as a minor, because one of the offenses involved drinking under the legal age, and the subsequent offense was committed within 5 years.... did you know your fiance could go to jail for up to a year? It is a given that he will go to jail for at least 90 days. The law is very clear on this.\n\nOn a more personal note... you need to call of the marriage. You fiance is irresponsible and has a drinking problem. He is eventually going to kill himself or other persons. If you are married to him, in California, YOU could be held civilly liable for the actions of your spouse. YOU could lose your house, other property, and have YOUR wages garnished... not to mention possibly being the widowed mother of fatherless children.\n\nDon't go there.

Unless you are under 18 you are SOL.  It won't show up on DMV reports after 3 years, but it's going to stay on there forever.  You, my friend are a convicted criminal.\nMe too, BTW.

Contact the court.  If you completed the program and got a good evaluation the DUI is supposed to go away as I understand it.  If you do nothing it should be there for all to see.  You can pay an attorney a small fee and have him make the contact and file a brief requesting dismissal of the "conviction."   You cannot move the matter to GA.  \n   Question:  Why in the world did you not complete and wrap up this important matter?

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.

Okay, the "charge" for hit and run is 20002 VC.  If you're asking what the possible penalties are, they range from zero days in jail and up to five years of probation, to 16 months, or 2 years, or 3 years in State Prison (in California).  Do NOT have your father, or anyone other than an attorney, contact the other driver; it could be misconstrued as witness intimidation, yet another felony!  Ask friends, family, and co-workers, to give you names of good lawyers they've hired before, and get a consultation.  Just remember, anytime you hire an attorney it'll be expensive and lawyers generally will charge you whatever they can.  If your father cannot afford an attorney, on his Court date, one will be appointed to him if it is discovered he does not have the funds to hire his own.  But let me stress one thing to you, do NOT take any advice from any one who is not a bar card carrying attorney.  It is very dangerous of you to ask legal advice in this forum. Too much is at risk to ask online strangers serious questions such as the ones you're asking.

Just so there's no misunderstanding about California's DUI law, you cannot be arrested or convicted of DUI on a bicycle or "any device with wheels".\n\nTo be guilty of DUI in California, a person must be driving a vehicle, and a vehicle is defined as a device by which any person or property may be propelled, moved, or drawn upon a highway, excepting a device moved exclusively by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.\n\nBlood alcohol levels as reported are otherwise correct.  And as others have indicated, the DUI laws here have two parts; one that says you can't drive with a BAC in excess of the law, and the other that says you can't drive with *any* BAC if you drive like your head is up your... glovebox, I guess.

That's a real shame.  You poor, poor, poor dumb ass alcoholic.  Ever consider calling a cab?  Worse yet is the fact that the state you live in allowed you to get 5 DUIs.  Where I'm from you will most times serve after your second.  The simple fact of the matter is that being as old as you are... it's already too late for you.  You will never change ever.  You have chosen to spend your life in a bottle chasing wiener half your age and half the time probably getting paid for it.  You say you have a good lawyer, so why post your question here?  In your reality is there going to be a magic answer on the Internet that is going to keep you out of jail?  I'm half your age and even I know that. Jeez.... I really hope you haven't procreated because if you have I'll bet they're proud of you now.  I'll bet you're proud of yourself.  Not once did you even mention being ashamed of yourself or consider what could have happened had you wrecked.  The best thing you can do for yourself is GO TO JAIL.  At least there you can't drink.  Maybe get yourself a little lesbian lover and spend your time planting flowers instead of graves.

I've known a couple people that have had them expunged.  One guy was in Minnesota, but the laws have since changed, so that any recent DUI's stick with you forever.  The other guy I know had one in Ohio, and it was taken of the record after something like 10 years, give or take.  But I think Ohio has new, stricter laws as well.\n\nBoth of these DUI's were in the late 70's or early 80's.

Are you sure it wasn't a DUI?  It seems like it should have been.  Did the officer give you a breath test or anything to determine your Blood/Alcohol?  Did he perform field sobriety tests?  If not then the judge will not know if you were impaired or if you were even over the legal limit.  Usually judges don't ammend charges anyway.  They make a decision on what the officer gives them.  They don't just go adding charges that can't be proven.

Ok, you know you did the crime so why not just turn yourself in and do the time?  Get it over with.  You can run as far away as you want but this will live w/ you forever.  Crime doesnt pay at all.\n\nBtw, its people like you with the dui that my sister is dead today.

Not sure I know what you're asking.\n\nI'll assume your license is suspended because you didn't do something DMV wanted you to do (attend a DUI program).  \n\nIf so, your license will stay suspended until such time as you show DMV that you've completed your class.\n\nStatutues of limitations have to do with how long the government has to commence prosecution against you for a crime you've committed.  This has nothing to do with your situation.  DMV can, and will, keep your license suspended until you do what they're asking you to do.

Background check goes to the state police, who will have every felony from 18 years old on up - better to 'fess up now with an explanation - there is no "statute of limitations",  However, sometimes you can get a plea bargain and have it struck from your records, a local politician had his "drug dealing" struck off of his record.
