Why is the DWI that was dismissed on record and can the court, use that against me?

Answered by attorney John E. DeVito (Unclaimed Profile)

This is a common misnomer. People believe that if a case is dismissed it is not on their criminal record. In Massachusetts a "court record" is created once a complaint issues. A "criminal record" or CORI is created once a defendant is arraigned on the charges. The charges may ultimately be dismissed, but the dismissal is reflected on the CORI. The importance of a dismissal is that one can honestly state that they were never convicted of the crime charged. To clear your record in Massachusetts one must seal their record. Sealing a record does not necessarily mean that someone cannot find that you were arrested. If one is arrested and fingerprinted in Massachusetts all fingerprints are sent to the FBI. That creates an arrest record which is difficult to seal. If you have concerns about your record consult an experienced criminal attorney.

If I refuse a breathalyzer, what does the blood test they give me check for?

Depends. They will definitely look for alcohol, and then maybe drugs if it is close or under. Yes, they can still come after you for being intoxicated due to drugs or any combination thereof.
