I myself live in TN & have seen these offenders on the I-40 doing trash pick up.  All you see is a blurry face after reading the back of their uniforms.  I think their should be more patrol, but then how much do you want the taxes to go up to fund this?  The best bet for these people are to not do it, saving their lives as well as others.

The new law applies to everyone.  If you have questions, you should check with the last attorney who helped you on your divorce or custody for the specifics of your case.

First do not drink too much and drive. If you do have a couple of beers or glasses of wine at dinner and are of average weight, you should be ok. There are charts available that can give a gauge as to how many drinks you may have in a given time period for your age, sex and weight. This is a gauge only and can be affected by amount of food in your stomach etc. \n If you are pulled over and believe that you are not impaired then the best policy is to cooperate and be polite. In most states you would have had to be pulled over for a traffic infraction or based upon reasonable suspicion of impairment (most cases of reasonable suspicion would fall into a traffic violation category anyway). Many officers are specialists in DWI stops and will conduct the stop in a certain way to gain evidence of impairment. This will include your speech, mannerisms, odor of alcohol, coherence etc. If the officer is not satisfied that you are sober upon this first encounter he may ask you to exit the vehicle. He has every right to ask the driver of a vehicle to exit the car, this was part of a Supreme Court decision. \n  He will observe how you walk and interact with him. He will then ask you to take some Field Sobriety Tests. These are standardized tests. You can refuse. However this will turn the stop confrontational. An arrest for DWI can be made by officers prior observations of your driving, and the first encounter. If the officer thought you drove poorly enough to pull you over, that is strike one in his head, an odor of alcohol is strike two, a slight stumble out of the car and a refusal to take tests will most likely end in your arrest. Again if you are confident in your sobriety cooperate and be glad someone is out there potectiong the roads from drunks, hopefully the officer will have reciprocated your kindness with his own profesionalism.

Sorry, but I do not think you have a case, but check with an attorney.  Police still have to practice traffic safety laws.

Not very good.  Check the state code in the state where you live.  VA = DUI 2nd is 30 days min to 1 year max but 20 days are mandatory not subject to suspension. Also depending on his blood alcohol level could be more days as well.  >.15 but <.20 = 10 additional days\n       >.20 = 20 more days

I have to say I'm not completely clear on what your question is.  \n\nSo you were drinking with some cops.  How does that change any of the facts of this situation?  A) you are underage and drinking and, B) you were driving, right?  Whether you were drinking with cops, doctors, lawyers, or your mother, you were still drinking and driving.  Just don't understand why the cop thing comes into this, so if I'm missing something, please explain it so I can understand it better.  \n\nThen it gets even more confusing for me.  You got two tickets; one for DUI and one for underage drinking.  But you blew under the limit on the portable machine, and invalid at the station.  So what you've said is that there is no chemical test that shows you were over the legal limit, right?  If that's the case, I'm not sure how or why you were cited for DUI, since there doesn't seem to be any proof that you were..and there seems to be proof that you weren't (your first test was under the limit).  There are ways a person can still be DUI even though they are under the limit, but you didn't talk about any of those things so I'm assuming they don't apply in your case.  \n\nDavega7 has some valid points, but I can assure you the DUI charge is harsher in California.\n\nlll_oo_legend_oo_lll would have you think that you might "have a case" because you were drinking with cops, but I still don't see what kind of case you'd have or how your choice of drinking partners has anything to do with your possibly illegal behavior.\n\nsdatary has some VERY valid points about relying on advice from Yahoo! users.  This forum really does not lend itself to the kind of interaction you need for legal counsel.  And I would agree with his/her comment about your possible concerns with the ethics of the officers you were drinking with, assuming they knew you were twenty and assuming they had some duty to find that out.  When I go to a bar off duty, it's certainly not my job to make sure everyone I might drink with is of legal age...it's the bartender's.\n\njkheavy2000 is offering some fairly poor advice (that you didn't ask for anyway) but he/she says it's from their attorney and it certainly sounds like something an attorney would say.  Most states have laws that require you to submit to a chemical test if you're arrested for DUI so you can choose to follow the law or not, it's pretty much up to you.  Some states allow for a blood test against your will, so it's possible you might even end up taking a test anyway and if so, your refusal will likely be used against you in court and result in more fines and/or jail time.  \n\nBut you want to know about your recourse in court.  Well, it would probably be helpful to know what state you're in.  Even then, without knowing more of the details of this situation, it's likely going to be difficult for anyone to give you a good answer to this question.  Ultimately, your decision regarding what you want to do in court should be based on what you are charged with.  Just because you received two tickets does not necessarily mean that the prosecutor will decide to charge you with both crimes...and there's too much missing information to be able to guess what you might be charged with.  Once you know what you're going to be charged with, you should decide (perhaps after talking with an attorney) if you did the thing you're being accused of, and if you did, if you want to just accept responsiblity for it and plead guilty or try to change the outcome by contesting the matter.  I don't know if that's what you're looking for when you talk about recourse, but that's what I got from the question.\n\nIf you're asking about recourse because you were drinking with cops and you don't feel it's right that you got busted at some point later in the evening, I'd go back to what I said before; I just don't get t

You should be able to fill out a form at a municipal court building and have a judge approve or disapprove it.  You don't even see the judge, just pay the fee.\n\nhttp://www.namechangelaw.com/states/tn/tennesee.htm

One the models I've seen they replace a cartridge. The old one is placed into evidence and can be retested if needed. I read that some DUI were dropped after the defense asked for the cartridge to be retested only to find that the police tossed them out.

They have new rules for that now.\n\nCheck with a lawyer.

You only asked for the (a) charge, so here it is:\n\n23152.  (a) It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.\n\nIf there's something else you want to know, I'd be glad to see what I could do for you.

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.
