Oh hell, yes, they are going to use that against you in court! NEVER EVER assume that a cop is being friendly. There's a reason that they say anything you say can and will be used against you. NEVER talk to cops! There's a good video put out by the ACLU that has some reenactments of people...

I don't get why he was arrested the second time? For being drunk in a vehicle, but not the driver? There's got to be something more to this. It's not illegal to be drunk, and you can't get arrested for it. In my state, you can be charged with being an accessory to DUI if you own the car that...

Wow, that's a complicated one. With a DUI you do have to keep in mind that you've got two authorities who want things from you: One is the civil, and that's between you and the DMV; the other is the criminal part, and that's between you and the court. It sounds, though I'm not sure from what...

I posted on another thread re Prayer For Judgment Continued, because my ex got one for his assault on a female charge. That's when you plead guilty to a crime, it shows up as a conviction, but there's only a judgment entered (if there's anything besides court fees as part of the...

I've been reading these threads about DUIs. I can tell you firsthand that one of the lingering effects of having a DUI is that they do not go away. Oh no, no, no. Seven and a half years ago, I was caught and charged with DUI. After a year in the court system, I finally had enough of my...

Don't even get yourself all worked up about her having access to AA. For one thing? She cannot drink in there, so there's no "relapse" danger anyway. Secondly? AA? Well, I've read very recently that in addition to having much in common with cults, it's not even an effective means of treating...

I don't think it matters at ALL. They can tell you anything they want to try to get you to incriminate yourself or help them get someone else. Remember now, cops WILL say anything in order to try to do all of that and more. I could not agree more with the person above who said your son needs to...

I don't see how they can charge the passenger with anything; maybe leaving the scene of an accident with property damage that they witnessed. But they have to PROVE you were driving, and if they can't . . . let them charge you, but you'll get out of it. Problem is, you'll still have to hire an...

Well, an expungement is not the same as a dismissal, either. And expungements are the panacea that many people think they are. They show up; it's just up the imagimation of the person doing the inquiring about what was expunged. Where I live, they make it very difficult to get someone's...

My ex plead guilty to assault on a female (me) ten years ago. We are now in custody court and I received a draft of the temporary hearing judge's decision. This draft states that my ex plead guilty to the assault on a female charge, but that it was later dismissed. To my knowledge, this is...
