What do the abbreviations AETD and VIP stand for regarding a DUI conviction?

Thomas J Tomko

VIP is Victim's Impact Panel. This is a class that you would take, typically after sentencing. I do not recognize AEDT.

Will I be charged with a DUI after the fact?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)

There is nothing you can do at this point but wait to see what happens. However, if you do get a charge of DUI contact an attorney and explain what you have posted here online. The police must provide you with certain rights before giving you a breath test and it certainly doesn't sound like they were given. If you get the DUI charge call me or another attorney as soon as you receive it.

How do you find out if police have evidence?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
The attorney is typically the person who will access to the State's file. They're not going to release their evidence to a non-lawyer, for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, you won't be able-on your own-to determine whether he's "innocent," or not, if and until an attorney reviews their file. Usually, you don't see an arrest for DUI and tampering. DUI is a class c offense, which would apply in the case of a 19 year-old stopped for suspicion of DWI (DUI is the offense applicable to underage drivers - the burden of proof required to convict a person of DUI is not the same as that which is required to convict an adult of DWI). If the officer was able to articulate "any detectable amount" of alcohol, then your son could in fact be guilty of DUI. Tampering, in these situations, usually implies a person destroyed potential evidence. If it was a drug case, and, for example, he swallowed whatever the substance was, that would considered tampering. And there is no such thing as an inconclusive breath test. It's either above the limit; or not. Again, the "limit," or 0.08 g/ml, does not apply in a DUI case.  Mostly, I've offered a bunch of educated guesses, given the limited facts provided. An attorney would very likely be able to answer more intelligently with additional information.
