- A: You should request a trial and not a waiver hearing and go to court. If the police officer does not appear, you will be acquitted. If the police officer appears, you can have a trial. If you are convicted, the judge can offer probation before judgment which avoids the points. Note that a PBJ counts as a conviction for CDL purposes.
- Q. I am over seas for the DOD and my Drivers license has expired. I have a mark on my license due to DUI. What can I do?
- A: You would need to discuss with your lawyer the reason the ignition interlock is required. If it was ordered by a judge or you blew .08 or above or refused a breathalyzer test, then you must do the interlock. There are no exceptions.
If the Medical Advisory Board has ordered the interlock due to a past DUI conviction, accumulation of points, or other reasons, then you must comply with whatever they want you to do.
- Q. Hi. I received a 3 yr PBJ after pleading guilty to a DUI first offense. I am compliant with the terms.
- A: It depends on the judge. Some judges will convert your probation to unsupervised. Other judges will make you stay on supervised probation the entire time. I would not expect the judge to completely end your probation early for a DUI, but unsupervised probation means you do not have to report or pay supervision fees.
