Can this DUI be dropped from her record? Would she have to name names ? Is there any legal precedence? Is the DUI actually hidden?

A DUI cannot be expunged from your record and will stay on your permanent criminal record for ever. Unfortunately the reason for driving is not an element of the charge. The charge of DUI involves (1) driving on the roads of this state (2) consumed alcohol or controlled substances (3) normal faculties impaired or BAC >.08.  The reason for driving is not an element of the charge, nor is it a defense. If your friend was being harassed, she could have called the police, a taxi, or a friend to pick her up.  While the above may not be what you wanted to hear, it is the law. I believe in telling it like it is.

Is my name on record if my friend got a DUI and I was the passenger?

Answered by attorney Robert E McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
Depends on the Investigation Officer. Some will add the passengers to the report as a potential witness if there was no car crash. If there was a crash the passengers are identified in the Crash Report.

Are SFST's required to be recorded on traffic stops that have dash cams available?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Its not mandatory, but its something I have argued with mixed success (depending upon other facts in the case). If the dash cam is there, why not use it?
