WILL I BE ABLE TO GET MY CASE DISMISSED BECAUSE I WAS NOT READ MY RIGHTS? Probably not. But if you were interrogated after being placed in custody, your statements cannot be used against you. 2. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? Follow this link. 3. WILL I GO TO JAIL To be honest, it depends. Let me explain. Oregon law says that Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants is a Class "A" misdemeanor. The maximum penalty is 1 year in county jail and a $5000 fine. DUII can be a considered a felony if you are convicted of four DUII offenses in a 10 year period. If this happens, you will be sentenced to a minimum of 13 months in the state penitentiary. Typically, though, in Oregon, if you are a first time offender, you will be offered "diversion". Diversion is a program established by law that allows a person who is a first time offender to avoid a conviction upon completion of certain requirements established by the court. If you are convicted of a DUII in the State of Oregon, the minimum sentence that can be imposed is 2 days in the county jail or 80 hours of community service, a $1000 fine, and usually a 1 year driver's license suspension. County court judges usually impose a jail sentence anywhere from 5-15 days of jail. For second offenses the fine will be a minimum of $1500. For a third offense the fine will be a minimum of $2000. Obviously, the jail sentence imposed on a second or third offense will be significantly greater than the sentence imposed on a first offense. The only way to keep from going to jail or being incarcerated is to fight your case and win. 4. CAN I PLEA BARGAIN MY WAY OUT OF A DUII? In Oregon a DUII will never be plea-bargained to a non-alcohol/controlled substance offense. The legislature has passed a law that makes such plea agreements unlawful. The prosecutor has no discretion to dismiss the DUII offense in exchange for a plea of guilt to a different offense. ORS 813.170 5. IF I HAD A PRIOR CONVICTION FOR DUII WITHIN 5 YEARS OF MY RECENT DUII ARREST, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY LICENSE IF I AM CONVICTED? The court will suspend your license for a period of 3 years. 6. IF I HAD THREE SERIOUS OFFENSES WITHIN 5 YEARS, WHAT WILL BECOME OF MY LICENSE? You will be deemed by the DMV as a habitual offender. Your license will be revoked for 5 years. 7. HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO ATTEND ALCOHOL CLASSES? The alcohol classes typically mandated by the courts last 12 weeks. The court's staff will evaluate you. If you have a significant problem with alcohol or drugs, you may be ordered to attend intensive treatment which could mean having to attend classes 2 or more times per week. As a term of your probation you will be required to pay for the classes. You will also be required to abstain from the use of alcohol and non-prescribed controlled substances for the term of the classes. 9. I LOST MY LICENSE IN OREGON. MAY I OBTAIN A LICENSE IN ANOTHER STATE? In most cases, no. 10. AM I A BAD PERSON BECAUSE I WAS ARRESTED FOR DUII? No. Driving after drinking responsibly is not a crime in Oregon. It is legal to drive after drinking alcohol. However, you are well advised to never, never smell like alcohol while behind the wheel. If you do, and you are pulled over by the police, you will be arrested. Many legally innocent people are arrested in Oregon for DUII. 11. WHAT IF I BURPED WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF BLOWING? The breath machine may have read alcohol from your stomach rather than your lungs. The result will be incorrect. A similar problem occurs with dentures and people who suffer from gastroeseophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn or hiatus hernia. The breath test machine is merely making a estimate of your blood alcohol level based upon the level of alcohol coming out of your lungs. The accuracy of the estimate is predicated on many presumed factors. These presumptions often are not justified for many individuals.

Intoxicated Driving

Driving While Intoxicated Driving While Intoxicated Persons driving while intoxicated (DWI) pose a threat to the entire community. In 2003, the Criminal Court Bureau continued its collaboration with other government agencies such as the NYPD and the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) to obtain convictions in DWI cases. This year, 645 individuals were arrested in the Bronx and charged with offenses involving driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Twenty-five of these individuals were indicted on felony DWI charges. (A person can only be charged with the felony if he or she is currently charged with DWI or driving while impaired by drugs, and has a prior conviction within the past 10 years for one of these offenses.) In 2003, a total of 646 misdemeanor DWI cases were disposed. The Office obtained convictions in 95% of these cases. The bureau continued to work with the DOT in the state-funded Stop DWI Program, which operates throughout New York City. The program is dedicated to fighting drunk driving through public education and also assists law enforcement with monetary, technical, legislative and legal support. As part of its comprehensive involvement in DWI issues, the Office sent a representative to present DWI prosecution issues at five New York Prosecutors Training Institute (NYPTI) events attended by a total of about 300 assistant district attorneys and police officers from throughout New York State. In addition, a representative of the Office chaired a NYPTI committee which produced a New York State guide to vehicular homicide prosecutions. The guide was then disseminated to every District Attorney's office in the state and to many police agencies. The bureau participates in the New York City Department of Transportation's Stop DWI Criminal Justice Task Force, a group with representatives from each District Attorney's office and the NYPD, to coordinate citywide DWI prosecutions. The Office also coordinated an extensive training of all New York City Police Collision Investigators in the latest collision reconstruction methodologies. The Office also used DOT community service programs and referred some DWI offenders for treatment in Bronx Lebanon Hospital's Stop DWI Program.
