How long would I sit in jail for a probation violation of my treatment for DUI?

You should expect the balance of your probation (9 months), because you are playing games with the judge. You knew what the terms were before you agreed to them. Now, you are singing I cannot do it song.

Can I be charged with a DUI if the keys were outside of the car and the arresting officer smelled?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
The car needs to actually be moving to be convicted of DUI. Some states have operating under the influence statutes which allow prosecution for being in or around the car while drunk. California requires what's called volitional movement of the vehicle to obtain a conviction. I like to remind cops, prosecutors and people that the "D" in DUI stands for driving and they must prove that the person charged was driving to obtain a conviction. There are a couple of exceptions to the driving requirement and those are covered under Vehicle Code Section 40300.5. If you've been in an accident or if the car is blocking the roadway, then the cops don't need to see the car move. In addition to the requirement to prove Driving at trial, the common law and Penal Code Section 836 require that a misdemeanor offense occur in the presence of the cop who makes an arrest for the arrest to be lawful. A DUI cannot occur in the officer's presence, if he doesn't see (sense) driving. This may not be an issue if there are other crimes that can be charged.

If you blow a 1.0, didn't completely fail the sobriety test, but when blood was taken it was lower then 0.08, can or should it be thrown out?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
No... because the DUI statute reads "..... .08, or whose driving is affected to an appreciable degree from the consumption of alcohol and or drugs". Translated, even if your breath or blood test is under a .08, you can still be charged. You also don't state how long after driving, the blood test was taken.
