Answer your Questions in California DUI arrest

Friday, April 24th, 2009

According to Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in California, residents need to be aware of the general procedures performed during a DUI arrest. So here are some common questions from California drivers:

• -What will happen after a DUI arrest?

The law requires the officer to immediately forward to DMV a copy of suspension form (or revocation form) and the driver’s license together with a sworn report. DMV will automatically examine the test results, suspension or revocation order, and the report submitted by the officer.

You may request a hearing from DMV within 10 days upon receipt of the order. This action will be set aside if their review showed that there’s no basis for suspension or revocation. DMV will notify you in writing.

• -Is urine test still being done?

You will be required to submit to chemical test in order to determine the drug or alcohol content in your blood. A breath or blood test will be requested from you. However, a urine test is no longer available since January 1999 unless: you have a heart condition and taking an anticoagulant medication, you are hemophiliac, or both breath and blood tests are not available.

• -If ever the officer confiscated the driver’s license, how will it be redeemed?

At the end of your suspension or revocation, your driver’s license will be automatically returned to you. However, DMV will ask for a $125 reissue fee and proof of financial responsibility. If you’re under 21 years old, your reissue fee will only be $100.

New State Law Is Giving The Illinois DUI Residents a Memorial Sign

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

In the state of Illinois, a person called Joel Mains tried to recently lead a news conference in the full cooperation of the Cook County Circuit, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists. They finally unveiled a new type of a sign that they hoped will try and prevent the state of Illinois DUI or Driving Under Influence number of fatalities. The actual law came to the effect in January of 2008 and basically enables the new memorial signs to honor those who were killed in the fatal DUI or Drinking Under Influence accidents. The signs are to be placed at the exact crash site on any number of the state owned highways.

Some initiators indicated that when other people passed by the crosses and flowers on the highway and roadside they got the feeling and knew that something serious involving had happened there, but immidately it wasn’t evident what exactly it was. They additionally said or expressed opinion that they were hoping for the signs placed on the highway letting people know about the cause of the death, which was a result of a DUI or drunk driver and that it would serve as a reminder and raise complete awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving on the roads of Illinois.

Deputy and the Officer try to argue over the related DUI incident

Friday, November 14th, 2008

A cop who pulled over a not on duty sheriff deputy on the yet to be determined suspicion of DUI and drunk driving was what it seems tried to help the fellow officer, the audiotape of the traffic pit stop has confirmed this finding. The conversation revealed some details about what the pair was arguing. It seems the officer was trying to help the other deputy by saying “You know you’ve been drinking probably a little too much.” I saw the alcohol in the car. I can smell it.” and also “You’re a sergeant now. You get to keep your job, and that’s your career.”

The other deputy however kept on insisting that he has done nothing wrong in this DUI incident involving alcohol and said that he had not done anything bad on the road yet and was not speeding at all. However the  other officer has said  that he did go off road and called him a liar.  Suddenly the tone of the conversation went from the calm and mild to basically lot of arguing. At one specific moment in time the officer was quoted saying “”You’ll be lucky if you have a job after this. Now, sign the ticket, keep your mouth shut and go home.” However when all was finished and completed in this DUI case the deputy was cited only for a wrong lane change.

DUI with a child, drunk driver found in van with minor, family drunk

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

It seems that according to some very credible sources a Kelli T. was finally arrested and brought to justice for the crazy driving and drinking incident involving the minor. When she was pulled over the police officer found her own one year old only son in her own minivan and immidately tried to reach for the actual relatives to help and come take the child away.

But to surprise of the police officer, when actually the three relatives came onto the scene to try and pick up the child, the officer in charge and on duty at the time found that they too have all been exposed to alcohol and had pretty much been drinking for a while it seems.  The actual child father, was among the first ones to arrive onto the incident scene. Once officer actually found out that even he had been drinking, they charged him and he was immidately taken to the local jail as his wife which is also being charged with DUI or driving under influence of alcohol. The grandparents finnally arrived on the scene as well, but they were intoxicated as well, but luckily the grandmother was not of the legal limit. The officers could not believe so many people including most of family members would be drinking and driving.

The new beer or alcohol class in Wisconsin is raising some very serious issues

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

The University of Wisconsin finally said earlier in the week that it will begin offering to the students a new  wine and beer brewing classes, starting early this this spring all within the the instruction of a senior person.  According to some research this will be the first campus in the United States to offer this type of course as well as some DUI courses. State of Wisconsin is also well known for having the biggest alcohol drinking rate in the whole country, which is intresting.

The actual course being offered at the campus will try to teach students and other people about fermentation and how to brew beer.  Some beer companies have already donated their own equipment to help the class with the whole process, this will allow them to easily make 10 gallons of quality beer by using the given process.  By the time the term ends the hope is that the students will be able to criticize a sample, and the actual rest of the beer that was produced will be discarded or destroyed.

The self proclaimed king of DUI “Danny Jacobsenz” from state of California has been caught and is currently facing trial. You are probably wondering if there is such thing as king of DUI, well apparently there is, this guy has had multiple violations dating back to 1999. During his most recent underground party, he sat in his vehicle and drove it at astonomical speeds while ofcourse being intoxicated and under influence of drugs. It seems DUI king took it a step further by placing banner stickers that said “King of DUI” on his vehicle when he drove past by the police officers in the small town of state of California. Surprisingly enough during his last 7 or 8 years of DUI driving and crazy partying nobody was hurt, but lot of people are glad that he was brought to light to face his music and justice.

Legal Limits for DUI and DWI in the state of California in United States

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Are you legal ? In 2004 actually all 50 states have established a formal or general legal level of alcohol in your blood. It is .08%. Howver lot of states including California are enforcing extremely strict zero tolerance regulations and laws for people who are less then 21 years old. These kinds of people are considered minors as per substance abuse regard. In state of California the DUI means you are simply under the influence of any mind altering substance such as alcohol. DWI however refers to you being impaired while driving. This for example could stem from drug or alcohol related charges and usually is the case.

Did you know that in California alone there were over 250,000 individual cases of DUI incidents during the year of 2007. This number is heavily on the rise and one of the major drivers is the bad examples uttered to teenagers through celebrities, especially Hollywood stars. In recent studies it has been shown that teenagers are heavily suspect and under lot of influence from media and celebrities about how to behave in DUI / DWI related incidents. We hope however that these numbers will change and that California will become more sober state.

DUI Fines

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

It has come to my attention that fines can be paid off through community service. If the fine is actually too much for an individual to pay, it can be payed off through credit or community service. Fines do range anywhere from $300-$1000, but for more serious offense it can be thousands of dollars. California courts allow for the individuals to pay off their fines by simply providing services for the state. Dui incidents in california are a common occurence and it should be noted that there are many people who end up doing voluntary services.

California Dui Case Procedures

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

What to do when charged with an offense??? First step would be to hire an attorney in order to assist you with the charges. The court will expect you to find one yourself and make your case presentable prior to the court date. It is important to go over the case and discuss all the possible clauses, the evidence also can’t be undermined and must be fully brought up during the proceedings. The more evidence towards a case the better of one can be. In California attorneys can be found in almost every town and community, sometimes it is better to hire one with great dui and dwi experience. If attorneys have been associated with other california dui cases you might be able to spot them easily and use them in your own case.

California drivers with prior DUI and DWI convictions at high risk

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

As according to studies conducted by some independant research organizations, last month it was shown that there is a remarkable 7.1% higher chance of someone with prior conviction in state of California to be involved in fatal crash or accident. The studies were done and researched by over 200 different groups with experts on the DUI and DWI. Drivers with blood alcohol level of .15 or above are especially at risk and very high risk that is as these kind of drivers are usually not very responsive to general and legal measures. There is definately a need to have a new court system which will specifically address the extreme and high risk drivers or offenders and their addiction to the substance.

With this data in mind it is not that shocking to know that DUI and DWI related accident numbers have been on the constant rise in the California. What people should be doing is spending appropriate time at the rehabilitation facility and go through mandatory pass checks before they are given opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a vehicle again. This in accordance with the accountability is critical to building the sucessfull strategy in years to come in California state.

Extreme cases of DUI inside the sunny California

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Maybe it is related to the nice weather or something else, but DUI in sunny state of California is always up during the summer. Maybe it is that there are many more parties in the summer then there are in the winter, but no one is 100% sure about it. During summer hours people are usually caught with extreme cases of DUI in the California. These range from simple minor incidents to cases where a person ends up losing life in car accident. It is unfortanate to see people losing their lives in accidents related to DUI and these are the most extreme cases of all.

We interviewed several candidates from California to tell us what they thought about the DUI over there and how it affects them during summer days. They all told us that there was too much partying involved, they didn’t really pay too much attention, got intoxicated and ended up going into their cars and back on the road. It seems during winter they managed to stay much more sober then they did during summer days. These are interesting facts for people who reside in the state of California and are affected by the dangers of DUI.

Dui sentences to become stricter by the year 2009 in California

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Yes that is right. The sentences for DUI will become much stricter by the year 2009 in state of California. There are new laws coming which will make it very difficult to person to be bailed out of jail once under DUI investigation. The judges also agree that this new process should make it much more effective in the constant police fighting against the DUI drivers in the state of California.

This means you should not drive if you are under influence or you will face some extremely hefty fines and fees for your behaviour. The law will make it possible for official to hold you in jail without posting bond for very long time. This should be a reminder to all those who abuse substance in California. DUI is serious crime and when in doubt better don’t drink and drive.

California DUI

Monday, September 15th, 2008

DUI in California is a common theme that we see across the state.   People seem to forget that drinking and driving do not mix very good.   Accidents can and do happen, they are usually a result of alchocol or drugs.  Majority of dui causes that occur are simply bad judgement.   People who usually come from a party or an event have consumed some sort of alcohol, but they have not considered that this can lead to a dui.   DUI levels are measured on the amount consumed and can be measured by a breatllizer test or simple routine walking procedure.   Alcohol is not the only substance consumed, there are also numerous cases of drugs.   Throughout California we see numerous cases of both drugs and alcohol playing a role in the DUI offense.   Offense will be more severe if the level of consumption is higher.   Another major part of this is that convictions are made on even the slighest detection of crossing.  This means if you have failed the breathlizer test by even a little bit, it can become an offense.  California laws are very strict about this and DUI is a serious offense that not only threatens the driver, but those around him as weel.

DUI Fines are very costly and expensive

Monday, September 15th, 2008

DUI Fines can be very expensive depending on the charges that have been set forth.   Driving under influence in California is a serious offense.  If there is felony commited with the offense the fine can become even more costly.  The laws clearly state that if additional damage has been inflected, the charges will increase.  Fines have been known to be sometimes over thousand dollars and this is not uncommon to see.   If the case is more serious it can cost thousands of dollars.  This however does not include the court case price and the actual process of hiring / paying for attorney in state of California.   The costs can actually add up to a lot more when all this is included.  The fines can be paid over time if the offender does not have the money right away.   Also in some courts the offenders can repay the fine by providing community services and doing work.  A normal dui fine will range any where from 300-800$ , of course if no damage or injury has been caused.  This amount could change drastically if damage or injury has occured.

California DUI growth concerns over minors

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

More minors are beggining to get involved in dui cases in recent years.  There is a growing convern over this because this will carry on in the future years more if it is not stopped.  It is important for communities to get involved in preventing this from happening. Many minors pick this up from their parents or relatives and some even from the media.   Parents should get involved with their children and talk about this because it is one of the issues that parents actually rarely discuss.  In movies we actually see some actors portraying it as a part of life but actually it is not.  It is an extremely dangerous and reckless thing to do.  Also the news sometime reports and it also gets picked up by younger individuals.
