How can I have my DUI drop to a reckless opp.?

Amanda Bowden Johnson
Answered by attorney Amanda Bowden Johnson
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Houser Law Firm, P.C.
Your case is most likely not in North Carolina. In North Carolina we have DWI not DUI. However, if some aspects of this type of case are universal. If law enforcement did everything properly and the .17 result is admissible. Your choices will most likely be to pled guilty or go to trial. .17**is over twice the legal limit in most states. There is no prosecutor or district attorney that I know of who would risk their career by reducing a DWI at .17 unless there is some serious defect with the case that would cause them to have a serious question about their ability to secure a conviction. You need to consult with an experienced DWI attorney to see if there are any defects in your case that could possibly be used to your advantage. However, like I said if everything was done properly, your attorney will most likely recommend a plea and will attempt to minimize the punishment aspect of a DWI conviction. It is a good thing that you were cooperative with highway patrol and have a good driving record. Often things like this are considered mitigating factors and could lessen any punishment you may receive. Good luck to you and please don't ever drive drunk again - remember it's not just you that's in danger on the road if you drive in that condition again.

Will an out of state probation officer find out about a drunk in public?

If you were arrested, then there will be a record. IF you only received a citation, go and pay it, because there should be no record of it.

What’s going to happen?

It will be up to the Judge, ultimately. If you violate your probation by - for example, being convicted of commiting another crime (public intoxication in your case), the state can file a motion to revoke your probation. The felony probation would mean you could be revoked and sentenced anywhere within the punishment range for that offense. So if the offense were, for example, a 3rd degree felony, you could be revoked and sentenced from 2 to 10 years in prison (even if your probation is shorter). These are all what COULD happen. You also could have your probation reinstated or extended with additional conditions. Whats IS going to happen? Impossible to predict. If you want to increase your chances of staying on probation, hire an attorney to represent you on the probation revocation.  Good luck!
