If officer gives a citation for DUI, doesn't impound car, and lets driver go, can this be used in favor to reduce charges?

Sure, your attorney can argue anything you like to the prosecutor. Admittedly, not taking you into custody was a mistake by the officer. If he cited you for DUI he was supposed to prevent you from driving away UI. Sometimes they will let a passenger drive you home if they choose not to take you into custody. His mistake can be used to show you weren't all that badly off and should get a charge reduction or something. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, n timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing to present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? While this isn't a 'capital case', it certainly carries potential jail, so handle it right. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

Why should I have to do 2 sets of classes for the same DUI and why is California requiring classes for a DUI in another state?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
It depends on OR dui laws. CA can require dui classes if you did not take similar classes in OR. The DMV does not get any money only the program.

Am I getting a DUI?

It sounds like you have a defendable case. You need an attorney. Make sure you contact the DMV Driver's Safety Office and ask for an APS hearing within 10 days of the arrest. The request for an APS hearing will postpone your license suspension until the APS hearing is completed. If you win the APS hearing a DMV license suspension will be set aside. 1st time DUI has fines from 350.00 to 1,000.00. You can be put in jail for up to 6 months. Since your case appears to be defendable, retain an attorney.
