Possible dui but was never given a citation and released from the hospital

David B Harrison

If the car is being held for investigation, at some point they will notify you (or you could have your lawyer contact them) about getting the car back. At that time they could issue you a summons for DUI or I suppose even arrest you for DUI.  I strongly suggest talking to a lawyer NOW so the case gets off on the right foot from the very beginning.

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?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
DUI prosecutions are very technical and highly scientifically. Typically, officers will testify that the first sign of intoxication that they notice is blood shot watery eyes. If they only articulable fact for arrest were your eyes, the arrest could have violated your fourth amendment rights- lack of probable cause. One issue I see with that argument is that you consented to a preliminary alcohol screening test, if this was pre-arret, a judge could find that the eyes and test results would most likely give the officer probable cause to arrest you. Those are legal arguments, you may have other defenses to the charges available to you, especially with a lower BAC. It would be work contacting a DUI attorney n your area.

Is there a statute of Limitations?

David B Harrison
Answered by attorney David B Harrison (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Miller & Harrison, LLC
The "statute of limitations" is the time the prosecutor has to file charges - so it sounds like charges were filed, you plead guilty to something and didn't do everything you were supposed to. So it is not a 'statute of limitations' problem. There are two issues in Colorado - one whether there is a warrant outstanding for your arrest for not complying with the sentence (it may have been removed due to age of the case) and (2) if Colorado has put a 'hold' on your drivers license for failing to fully resolve the DUI case.  If Colorado has put a hold on your license, the only way to have it released, so you could get a valid license in another state, would be to check with the Colorado DMV and see what they need you to do in order to release the hold. It could invovle just paying money, or it could require that you prove completion of an alcohol program, maybe have an Interlock device for two years, etc. You can contact Colorado DMV or check your CO DMV driving record online if you like, or hire a lawyer to do that and advise you of what you need to do. I'd be happy to help if you like.
