DUII

Grey Monkey & Almost Librarian » Jury Duty Home | About | Archives | Links | Contact Grey Monkey & Almost Librarian The World of Bevill Tue 11 Oct 2005 Jury Duty Posted by site admin under General Last week I had jury duty… It was the first time I’d ever gotten called for jury duty in the last 10 years or so, and all previous times I got out of it for school. I actually showed up Monday and got picked for the trial Thursday morning. At first I thought there was no way I’d want a jury trial after hearing the people in the pool of prospective jurors, but after spending time with those people in the jury room I felt completely different. The actual trial was really short with only the police officer testifying, the video of the field sobriety test and the arrest. The lawyers doing their spin jobs, and the judge explaining the process and giving his instructions took the longest. The video that was shown was chopped, which led us to believe there was something they didn’t want us to see, which we then suspected were prior arrests. More on that later though. Other than the word of the police and the video, there wasn’t shit to go on as the defendant refused to take the breath/blood test and we were instructed that we couldn’t use that against him. Many of the things that were pointed out in the video such as him staggering, were in fact him rubbing out his cigarrete butt a few times. The smokers noticed that right away. Anyway we all thought there was more to the story that we weren’t being told, but it didn’t total up to being found guilty. When I got home the first thing I did was look up his arrest history that will show county and city arrests, and sure as shit this wasn’t his first incident. He had 3 previous arrests and two more after the fact. In all six he was booked for DUI, refusing to take the breath/blood test and for not having a licence. Part of the video that was cut was when he asked what’s going to happen to his license in the beginning which led us to think he was used to the process. -Grey Monkey One Response to “Jury Duty” Zerin Hood Says: October 17th, 2005 at 1:33 pm What was the officer’s testimony? How many beers did the defendant say that he had been drinking? Were there any passengers in the car? More importantly, what was the discussion in the jury room like?

Do I need a hearing to get a restricted driver license to go to and from work? The officer stated I refused to take a chemical test. What does this mean?

How is the DMV suspension or revocation for the DUI arrest different from the suspension or revocation following my conviction in criminal court? How can I find a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Program as ordered by the court? I've just been arrested for DUI. What happens now? The officer is required by law to immediately forward a copy of the completed notice of suspension or revocation form and any driver license taken into possession, with a sworn report to the DMV. The DMV automatically conducts an administrative review that includes an examination of the officer's report, the suspension or revocation order, and any test results. If the suspension or revocation is upheld during the administrative review, you may request a hearing to contest the suspension or revocation. You have the right to request a hearing from the DMV within 10 days of receipt of the suspension or revocation order. If the review shows there is no basis for the suspension or revocation, the action will be set aside. You will be notified by the DMV in writing only if the suspension or revocation is set aside following the administrative review. Back to Top of Page At the time of my arrest, the officer confiscated my driver license. How do I get it back? Your driver license will be returned to you at the end of the suspension or revocation, provided you pay (on or after January 1, 2003) a $125 reissue fee to the DMV and you file proof of financial responsibility. The reissue fee remains at $100 if you were under age 21 and were suspended under the Zero Tolerance Law pursuant to Vehicle Code §§23136, 13353.1, 13388, 13392. If it is determined that there is not a basis for the suspension or revocation, your driver license will be issued or returned to you. Back to Top of Page The officer issued me an Order of Suspension and Temporary License. What am I supposed to do with this document? You may drive for 30 days from the date the order of suspension or revocation was issued, provided you have been issued a California driver license and your driver license is not expired, or your driving privilege is not suspended or revoked for some other reason. Back to Top of Page The Notice of Suspension that the officer gave me at the time of my arrest states I have ten days to request an administrative hearing. What is the purpose of this hearing and what can it do for me? A hearing is your opportunity to show that the suspension or revocation is not justified. Back to Top of Page For how long will my driving privilege be suspended if I took the chemical test? If you are 21 years of age or older, took a blood or breath test, or (if applicable) a urine test, and the results showed 0.08% BAC or more: A first offense will result in a 4-month suspension. A second or subsequent offense within 7 years will result in a 1-year suspension. If you are under 21 year of age, took a preliminary alcohol screening (PAS) test or other chemical test and results showed 0.01% BAC or more, your driving privilege will be suspended for 1 year. Back to Top of Page Do I need a hearing to get a restricted license to go to and from work? No. A request for a restricted license cannot be considered at the DMV hearing. You may apply for a restricted license to drive to and from work at any DMV field office. Back to Top of Page The officer stated I refused to take a chemical test. What does this mean? You are required by law to submit to a chemical test to determine the alcohol and/or drug content of your blood. You did not submit to or complete a blood or breath test after being requested to do so by a peace officer. As of January 1999, a urine test is no longer available unless: The officer suspects you were driving under the influence of drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol, or Both the blood or breath tests are not available, or You are a hemophiliac, or You are taking anticoagulant medication in conjunction with a heart condition. Back to Top of Page How long will my driving privilege be suspended for not taking the chemical test? If you were 21 years of older at the time of arrest and you refused or failed to complete a blood or breath test, or (if applicable) a urine test: A first offense will result in a 1-year suspension. A second offense within 7 years will result in a 2-year revocation. A third or subsequent offense within 7 years will result in a 3-year revocation. If you were under 21 years of age at the time of being detained or arrested and you refused or failed to complete a PAS test or other chemical test: A first offense will result in a 1-year suspension. A second offense within 7 years will result in a 2-year revocation. A third or subsequent offense within 7 years will result in a 3-year revocation. Back to Top of Page How is the DMV suspension or revocation for the DUI arrest different from the suspension or revocation following my conviction in criminal court? The DMV suspension or revocation is an administrative action taken against your driving privilege only. The suspension or revocation following a conviction in court is a mandatory action for which jail, fine, or other criminal penalty can be imposed. Back to Top of Page © 2003 State of California.
