- Q. Ok i was dropped from a 3 month DUI program ...
- A: It is possible that the AB541 3 month alcohol program provider is still in business and has records of your participation in the DUI program from 10 years ago. However, you still need a court order to re-enroll and complete the program. and, you will have to pay for the balance of the program, at least. Regardless, you need to get the warrant cleared first. Then, the court will issue a new referral. You may want an attorney for that, to reduced the risk of being remanded into custody from the courtroom and having to post bail to get out, then come back to court again to talk to the judge.
- Q. my offender was sentenced 4/14/20. restitution 5/26/21 why is there more hearings (Further Proceedings) Location(SCH)??
- A: Here is a partial answer, that may be helpful. Restitution is essentially paying a victim for property damage, bodily injury, etc.; for the victims economic out of pocket losses. Restitution issues take time to resolve, and is not ordered by the court until after sentencing. It is possible to have mutliple restitution hearings before it resolves. However, to know exactly what is happening on this case, one would have to ask the attorneys assigned to the case (defense and prosecutor) what is happening. Otherwise, it is just guessing.
- Q. I was cited a seatbelt ticket and only a seatbelt ticket. Was the officer in the right or wrong?
- A: Reasonable suspension & plain view - If the officer saw that you were not wearing a seat belt, then, yes, they can conduct a traffic stop and cite you for the infraction for not wearing a seat belt. Sometimes people say that there is no possible way the officer saw that I was not wearing a seat belt because he was behind me, never to the side, etc. However, it is possible that the officer observed a more serious infraction to justify the stop but then decided to only cite for a lesser charge.
