What are my penalties?? If charged as a misdemeanor, up to a year in jail. If a felony, from one to four years, depending upon the specific charges filed. What will the outcome ?? 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. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. 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.

You need to submit an informal discovery demand on your own. It usually does not take very long to obtain the video - if it exists. In my DUI cases, I always refund part of the retainer to my clients if after viewing the evidence/video/audio they decide to plead guilty and not pursue the case.

I have no idea. You do not give me any information. Have you been convicted of the charge already? What are the terms of the judge's sentence? If you are on probation, what are the terms of probation? Do you have any prior criminal history? All of these questions will determine the outcome.
