If they are still under supervision of any sort, they must follow the rules of supervision. You can hire a lawyer to try to get the judge to remove the order but it is not likely to happen.

What punishments will my friend face for a DUI?

Joshua Ussama Aldabbagh
Answered by attorney Joshua Ussama Aldabbagh (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Boley Aldabbagh Ltd.
If your friend is not represented by counsel, his punishments can range widely, up to the following: DUI school/victim impact panel (paid for by defendant). Up to 6 months in jail or 96 hours of community service wearing distinctive garb that identifies the person as a drunk driver. Up to $1,000 fine. Attend alcohol abuse treatment program (if BAC was .18 or more). Suspension of driver license for 90 days If your friend hires an attorney to represent him, the usual "worst case" scenario is: DUI school/victim impact panel (paid for by defendant) A $400-580 fine Credit for time served (no jail time or community service) Attend alcohol abuse treatment program (if BAC .18 or greater) Suspension of driver license for 90 days (45 days with hardship license) - Plus, a good attorney will scrutinize the details of your case to determine if various factors could result in a complete dismissal of all charges, or a reduction of the charges to "reckless driving". There are countless ways to beat DUI's. For example, if the police had no probable cause to stop a driver in the first place, or if a mistake was made in obtaining a reading of the drivers blood alcohol content. Sometimes a mistake as simple as an arresting officer failing to document the breathalyzer device number can lead to a complete dismissal of all charges. Your friend should seek a consultation with a knowledgeable attorney to discuss his case.
