By "Immediate Appearance Before the Court" means you get arrested. If you were not arrested, that means you didn't have to sign. You were served with a copy of the citation, notifying you of the court date, time, and location. If you're thinking of using the fact that the cop didn't ask you to...

You making too much of a clerical error, but okay, if you want to split hairs that far, here goes... You were cited for consuming, which you did prior to midnight. So, you were still seventeen at the time of the actual offense... by your own admission. The time you were actually cited for it...

I'm a bit confused. You feel "set up" because there were no signs or handouts saying that it's bad idea to drink alcohol and operate a motorized vehicle? All of the NHTSA public service ads, all of the media coverage of drunk driving crashes, all of the MADD campaigns about drunk driving... and...

You can't. Nope. A lot more than you can afford, and that's IF you can find an insurance company that will actually cover you. Give up driving for now, and wait for the violations to drop off your record. Figure about five years. So telling you the truth is "baseless" and a "waste of time"...

Yeah, you're right, I should. I got a couple accident reports to finish, and two DUI arrest folders to complete. But since I've done this for fifteen years, I can knock 'em out in less than an hour. But thanks for the thought. ;)

That big ol' meanie... :(

How can you be "singled out" if you're the only driver in the vehicle? Use of that phrase implies that the officer unfairly asked you to submit to a sobriety test, even though you admitted drinking. :confused: When one test shows a result which is belied by another test, the officer has to...

SR-22 About how much??? How muchoo got? They'll want all of it, then you'll owe them the rest. ;)

I'm entitled to my opinion, just as you're entitled to your own. I'm not in denial. Hoot's got two options. Take the drug, or not take the drug. If he doesn't, he takes the jail time. If it's sooo dangerous, why didn't his attorney object to that condition? Everything else is irrelevant. Oh...

As stated earlier, it's going to depend on the DA, and how well the officer articulated signs of impairment in his report. You should understand the the .08 limit is what's known as "prima facia" or "good on it's face" evidence... that means that the State doesn't need to prove intoxication at...

You figure correctly. It's not. It doesn't even register a "1" on the Mistake-O-Meter. You could say that... but you'd lose. And you'd make yourself look foolish in the process. Instead of calling "neener neener" on minor mistakes, how 'bout accepting responsibility for your actions? Yeah, I...

Missed that part, huh?

What a complete and utter load of crap. The man's got his nose out of joint for one reason. He thinks that taking this drug will violate his God-given right to get stone stinking drunk. Nothing more. You lists of household items that might kill him, just because he happens to be in the same...

Okay... it's Friday night... after midnight... and you hit a parked car... okay... As a police officer, my first thought is this has "drunk driver" written all over it. You each got some semi-serious injuries. Loss of consiousness is serious business. It usually indicates a head injury. Sounds...

Of course he is. All cops are bad, didn't you know that? :rolleyes: Since this incident took place at HIS driver's door, that means you had to exit your car, walk over, and confront him at his car. To me, that makes you the aggressor. You had the chance to file assault charges when you went...
