In Illinois, when serving probation (3 months) for first DUI violation, can one drink alcohol? Where?

if your conditions of release or your p.o. indicates you cannot drink, thats exactly what it means.  if you are ordered to report for a random breath test and fail, they don't care where you have been drinking, you are in violation and most likely be will revoked and booked back into jail where you started out in the first place.

I have not heard anything about 20 hours of alcohol counseling in Ohio (lived here forever) (attended 72 hour DUI camp).  Having looked around on the internet a little here, I see other states offer this up as punishment.  Not Ohio.  How about contacting North Carolina and asking what program would be comparable to the 20 hours they recommended.  Could you do 20 hours of AA?  I'm reaching here.  Short of that, I you're probably looking at DUI camp.\n\np.s.  You can drink just don't get in your car.

Well your first offence will have expired by now, so you wont get more than a few points and maybe a fine.\n\nYou should stop drinking and driving though for your own and the publics sake.

I can tell you what happens in Illinois. You are transported by the Sheriff's deputy to the "processing" prison. In Illinois, that is either Graham, Menard or Statesville. Once there, you are immediately ordered to take off the jail clothes and put this green stuff in your hair to kill lice. then you are ordered to take a quick shower. After the shower, they place you in a cell for the next 2-4 weeks. During this time, you are processed through medical screening, psychological screening and physical screening. You use to be required to take an educational test. If you score below a certain score, you are required to attend school once you get to your placement prison. Where they place you depends on your escape risk, nature of conviction and time to be served. Once the processing is over after the 2-4 weeks at the processing center, then you are placed on a bus and transported to the prison that you will be staying at. However, the processing prison is similar to maximum security in nature. No movement, 2 showers per week, no telephone calls. You are allowed to receive mail and to write. Once you get to your permanant prison site, you are required to work at a job. Usually between .15 cents and .30 cents per hour. This is just enough to pay for the toiletries and personal items at the end of the month. Too many ignorant people sterotype prison as a place where people are raped every day. This is untrue. HOWEVER, inmates do have their own rules and it is definitely a world quite different from the outside. If you break those rules, then you will suffer the consequences. Remember that even if you are there for something petty as a drug conviction, there are murderers even at the minimum facilities. They are there because they have usually less than 5 years to serve on their sentence. It is a transitional period. Do not act as a bad a-s-s because those are the ones that find out the hard way. Do not call anyone a "b-i-t-c-h" or "p-u-n-k". Those two words can get you killed literally. Do not try to stare down another inmate. DO NOT get close to the guards on a friendly basis, otherwise, you will be considered a snitch and considered a danger to the other inmates. This could get you hurt.

None! It is a Felony and it will show on there record.  Anyone that receives a DWI regardless of what state they live in should respect the lives of others on the road.  They should not put people, including myself in danger of a crash just because they thought it would be alright to drink and drive.

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.

I doubt there is anyone here who will be able to answer this question 100%...if there is, I haven't seen that person yet.\n\nHowever, I can give you an educated guess although I'm not positive I understand your question.  I'll make some guesses, first:  \n\nI'm guessing the DUI was in Alaska, and you want to move down to the lower 48?  \n\nI'm also guessing he still has fines to pay and the alcohol program left to do?  \n\nAnd lastly, I'm guessing that by moving from Alaska, your husband intends to disregard what the Court ordered him to do there in Alaska? (pay the fines and go to the program).\n\nHaving made all those guesses, some discussion is in order  (because the issue of transportation might be moot):\n\nYour husband might very well be able to legally move out of state, attend the DUI program in another state, and make his fine payments from somewhere else.  If you will be able to afford those things (sounds like times are tough), then he needs to get back to Court and talk to the judge.  In California, DUI folks can be allowed to do their programs in another state and the court isn't going to care where you're sending the fine payments from so that won't be an issue.\n\nIf your husband's unsupervised probation requires that he not leave the state, that's going to be an issue.  Again, talking to the judge might allow for some leeway on this issue.\n\nSo those are the issues I see if your husband wants to work *with* the Court to try and keep things above-board.\n\nIf what your husband wants or needs to do is just leave the state and ignore his legal obligations to the State of Alaska, then you do need to know about extradition from another state.\n\nI don't know what Alaska does about outstanding arrest warrants (because if your husband does not hold up his end of the bargain, that's almost certainly what will happen).  I know that I have seen arrest warrants from just about every state in the union EXCEPT Alaska, so maybe they don't spend much money bringing people back to their state when warrants are issued.  \n\nI also know that the farther you are from Alaska, the less likely your husband is to be arrested and extradited back.  California, for example, might extradite someone from Nevada for a misdemeanor, but probably not from Florida.  Just too expensive, and they can issue a warrant and wait for the person to either come back to California or to stay in Florida.  Oregon does this all the time...they issue a warrant and put it into the computer, but will not extradite them from California unless it is a very serious crime.  Oregon seems to have figured out that leaving their criminals in some other state is beneficial for them.\n\nSo really, the very best answer I can give you is to have your husband go back to court and talk to the judge.  Be prepared to prove all the things you said here (like have a copy of whatever document you have that allows you to have custody of your grandchild, and have something from the doctor that says your husband is legally blind, etc).  It may very well be that the judge will allow him to leave the state, provided he continues to meet his obligations to the State of Alaska.  \n\nIf he can't do that, then have him at least try to do the alcohol program before you leave.  With that done, there's one less reason to argue he should be brought back to the state.  \n\nIf he can't or won't do anything the court ordered, get as far away from Alaska as you can.\n\nBest of luck for you both.  And God bless you for taking on the responsibility of your grandson.

If bail is an option, they may let him out on his own recognizance. If it is treated the same as a Violation of Probation, he may have to stay in jail till his court date.\n\nGood Luck to you both. However keep in mind that driving on a suspended license is illegal for a really good reason. Needing to drive for work is not a valid reason. If he had bit the bullet & paid all the fees, he would not have this problem. (Don't tell me he could not afford it as I paid my fine on time & got teh windshield replaced with an under poverty income.) He could have hired a driver for this period or asked friends for rides, or use the bus? I had to do that for 2 months while my car was laid up. I cost me no more than the gas would have cost.

The wrecking, which has been already mentioned, and this can happen with anyone drinking or otherwise.\n\nDepending on age, you can be charged with contributing to delinquency if you are older and knowingly let them drive, or have your license suspended for allowing an unlawful driver.\n\nAnything they may foolishly do, drinking or not, you become involved in. If they commit a felony, you can become an accessory and be charged with equal penalties.\n\nYour status changes slightly depending on whether you are licensed or unlicensed. A person who holds a license carries a little more responsibility than one who doesn't.

im not positive about illinois, but i got arrested for underage drinking when i was 17 and i only got $100 fine, and had to go to a group court alternative. if it a happened again though i would get $250 fine, 250 hours community service and counceling and my lisense taken away till i was 21. i hope that gives you an idea, if not just call the juvenile court in your area and ask.

I think in any DUI having an attorney is essential. If this is your first offense an attorney may be able to help you get the case plead down to a non DUI offense. I am an attorney in Ohio and can often get first time offenders tickets plead down to a lesser non DUI offense.\n\nAn attorney can also negotiate with the prosecutor on your suspension and other punishments. They can also help you obtain driving privileges. A good attorney will be familar with the judges/prosecutors attitudes and what they normally do in DUI cases. \n\nThis helps to protect your criminal and BMV record. In Ohio the look back period for DUI's is 6 years and up to 20 in some cases. I don't know the law in California but you don't want to just plead guilty and get another DUI in 10 years and have it come back to bite you b/c you didn't do all you could to protect yourself the first time. \n\nYou could also plead not guilty and attend the pre trial with the prosecutor yourself. But again you won't be as familar with how the court handles DUI's as an attorney. At the very least it never hurts to set up an office visit and get an attorney's opinion.

I had a DUI 18 years ago. I was young and dumb!\nEveryone at the hearing who had an attorney got 6 months probation and those who did not got a year.\nAn attorney can also help your fines costs get lowered as well as helping you not have to serve any jail time if your state requires it.\nIf you work your attorney can also help request a working license. That way you can drive to and from work when your privlages are suspended.

If your probation worker is worth his salt he'll mandate you attend a counseling program for batterers. Group counseling is most effective. I worked with victims of domestic violence for 11 years. \n\nThere may be home visits and ongoing checks of your police record. Your po might check on you in the evening, on the weekend or holidays. They may also do random drug and/or alcohol testing. This information comes from the State of Illinois, Lake County.

What should you do? First, learn how stupid it is to drink and DRIVE! Now that we have the moron part out of the way, take the money you have, and HIRE AN ATTORNEY!!! You cannot do this on your own. An attorney may can get you probation, and have the restitution set up as payments as a special condition of probation. That is the way things SHOULD go. But after you learn how stupid it is to drive drunk, you need to learn how stupid it is to try to represent yourself in court on such a serious matter. This isn't the people's court you're dealing with. It's the real deal. And trust me. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO JAIL. You won't like it there. Be smart, and hire someone that is smarter.
