Hamilton City, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

If you refused to provide a sample of your blood or breath and failed to request an administrative hearing from the DMV within 10 days of your arrest your license is likely to be suspended for a year (or more if this is a multiple offense). If this is a refusal case there is no provision in the vehicle code for a restricted license. Additionally, if you were driving on a restricted license, you are facing additional legal problems. Driving on a suspended license has statutory sentencing requirements based upon why the license was suspended and whether you had notice of the suspension are among factors that the court and the prosecution will consider when evaluating your case. You should contact a lawyer in your area to what, if anything can be done to save your license and help you avoid the enhanced sentencing for refusal cases as set forth in the Vehicle Code. A lawyer who focuses on these types of cases can usually help you understand the driving on a suspended license charges and strategies that may help you avoid some or all of the consequences in court.

Not enough information to answer, but probably not. Probable cause can be just about anything: a slight swerve in your driving, driving too fast, driving too slow, headlights out, tail lights out, failure to use a turn indicator.... etc., etc. If he does have a video of the stop that is great and is discoverable evidence. He took pot from you, so he has that as evidence. Also, how did you perform on the field tests?? My advice: get an attorney. DUI cases are very complex and there is a lot at stake. Dont be foolish and try to handle this on your own.

The statute of limitations would be tolled during any time you were on the lam (running) from the law. As long as the prosecutor filed charges, you may still be picked up and the case prosecuted. On the other hand, the statute of limitations for a misdemeanor DUI is generally 1 year from the date of the offense. I would definitely call an attorney for this situation as the outstanding warrant seems to indicate that you were charged but failed to appear at your arraignment.
