If I got a DUI in May 2005, should I report this on job applications even after I completed probation?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
The best policy is to report it and explain what you learned going through that experience, how you have changed your behavior, etc. if you do not report it and they find it, you will be labeled as a liar and they will not hire you, give you admission to school, etc DUI's stay on your record forever - I fully expect them to see it. You may wish to get your own criminal record by requesting it from a background check company. Beware that some background check companies may not have all the information that others do.

How likely to be charged with dui after an accident and going to the hospital? Blood was drawn and traffic infraction issued at hospital

Was there a blood test taken by the officer or just by the hospital for your treatment? I will presume the officer had blood drawn for his purposes as well.  If the accident did not result in any injuries to anyone else (other than you), then I do expect the charge of DUI will be added to your charges if it has not been already (there is just a small check box on most tickets that says a person is charged with DUI and people can miss that when looking at the ticket). If someone else was injured in the accident then there is a potential that much more serious (potentially felony) charges could be filed. You should definitely at least consult with a lawyer even if you decide not to ultimately hire one. A one hour paid consultation can provide you a lot of very useful information.

Is there a case for me if while talking to the magistrate, I hear the officer say I was only tested because my eyes were bloodshot shaky?

What do you mean by a case? You were arrested for DUI. I did not read any facts that sound like a defense.
