Will I have jail time for a possible charge for driving while suspended?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Every crime carries potential jail or prison upon conviction. Yours is a misdemeanor with up to a year in jail The honest answer is that no attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, police reports, expected testimony, priors history, etc. Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Effective plea-bargaining, using those defenses, could possibly reduce the potential ?time? and other penalties you face. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

If an officer does not charge me, and lets me go, can he still charge me later on?

Answered by attorney Steven Joseph Pisani (Unclaimed Profile)

It is possible that you can be charged at a later date and time for an incident that occurred earlier, however, as time goes on, the likelihood of such a scenario drops.

Isn't this double jeopardy?

David B Harrison
Answered by attorney David B Harrison (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Miller & Harrison, LLC
It is not double jeopardy since one is an administrative matter and the other is a judicial matter . It has been challenged in court and lost.  Having a drivers license is a 'privilege' and not a right, so they can attach any rules they like to getting one (for the most part). Sorry.  That said, you might consult with a lawyer to see if there are any other options.
