Will my friend for back to jail for a DUI while on probation?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
If convicted at trial or if he pleads guilty before then, then it is likely he is going to go to jail on either the DUI case or his current case that he is on probation for. Not breaking any laws is a condition of probation and no judge will look at that favorably. They could revoke his probation and resentence him up to the maximum amount for that offense. This is very serious and he needs to make sure he is being represented by a very skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney in his area.

What if I wasn't read my rights before being arrested?

Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
Police don't have to read you your Miranda rights before arresting you. The only reason they will read you your rights is if they want to question you while in police custody and use your testimony against you in court. Police officers don't have to have a witness standing by when they search someone it doesn't matter if you're female and the police officer is male. Police officer has to have reasonable suspicion to pull you over, and in your case, not having a front license plate gave the police officer the required reasonable suspicion. You need to hire an attorney to represent you to take care of these tickets; otherwise, you risk losing your license for a year, plus fines and potential jail time for the Driving While Suspended ticket.

If I'm not getting cited, does that mean I'm not going to be charged with a DUI?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Get a new license. Contact DMV to determine what their orders and rulings re on your case. Only they know the answer to your question. Does that mean I'm not going to be charged No. The prosecutor has a year to file charges and notify you of your court date. You already were told a complaint was forwarded to the DA. Those DUI charges will most likely be a felony, since you caused an accident with injury. WHEN those felony DUI charges are filed, 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? 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, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
