If I am on probation for DUI, can I still carry around my legally owned firearm?

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
DUI/DWI lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Depends on the terms of your probation. You have to read those carefully. Usually they do not allow you to.

Can i get charged for a dwi still if the officer did not take me to jail that night?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
Yes, you can still be charged. If the arrest was only 5 days ago, the most pressing issue is the ALR. If the officer confiscated your DL, he will have sent that paperwork to Austin. So, the clock is ticking. You have only 15 days from the date of arrest to contest the 6 month suspension of your license. I specialize in DWI cases, and can tell you that I handle the ALR on every single DWI case I'm hired on, provided I am hired within that 15 day window. It gives us an opportunity to fight to prevent the suspension. Also, it's our only real opportunity to get live testimony from an officer prior to trial.  As for the arrest, here's what will happen. The hospital should have drawn the blood. It will then be sent to a lab to be tested for the BAC level. Once the report is issued it will be sent to the agency that requested the testing (the arresting agency and/or the DA's office). If the BAC is at or above a .08 either a warrant or a summons will issue for your appearance on the case.  Right now there's a pretty significant backlog for blood testing at the labs. So, it could take up to a couple of months before you hear anything back on the blood. But, don't wait. Again, you can still fight the ALR; and it's an important piece of the discovery process in a DWI defense.

Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

Evidentiary blood and breath tests are normally render very close results. A non-evidentiary breath test rendered at the scene of an arrest, a preliminary breath test, is not always accurate and may not be the same as a blood test.
