DUI/DWI lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Yes, the blood alcohol is a factor but not determinative and it appears you were cited for drinking and driving based on your actions and demeanor. Get an attorney.

Can I be conviced of a DUI for MJ even if I have my cannabis script?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Can I be convicted? Of course. Nobody told you that having your card allowed you to? Drive Under the Influence? of alcohol or other drugs, which is they way the law reads. You could be charged if driving under the influence of cough syrup or prescription meds too. It is the impaired driving that is illegal, not the substance used that is important in DUI. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When questioned, arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement 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. While this isn't a 'capital case', you certainly face fines and potential jail, so handle it right. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. 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.

No they do not do two copies. Where do retards finds these wrong assumptions? The judge has the power to dismiss charges, ridiculous. The prosecutor will see my client record and dismiss all charges, retarded.
