No. An officer has to physically see you holding it/drinking it in order to charge you.

Sounds pretty serious and yes, he will be charged w/DUI the other people could sue his insurance and should as they may not be able to work for some time. \nDrinking and driving is so wrong when you can call someone or a cab to take you home. \nSorry to hear your friends are hurt since this is all preventable.

If you have a license it will be gone for a yr if its ur first dui offence and if you pled guilty you might get fined but maybe driving school to get ur license back after ur yr is up nothing major tho as long as this is ur first dui offense if its like ur 3rd dui u prolly go to jail

Depends on the state.  If you go to your state website and do a search of the consolidated laws, you should be able to find out.  Or you can call your local police department and just ask.

Depends on what state, but I honestly don't think so.  Her insurance will be affected negatively.  First offense, though, just make sure she shows up to court and the judge will probably give her a fine and she'll be told she can't get another ticket or she'll *really* get penalized.

Ask you attorney or look in the your state's penal code book.

Are you sure it wasn't a DUI?  It seems like it should have been.  Did the officer give you a breath test or anything to determine your Blood/Alcohol?  Did he perform field sobriety tests?  If not then the judge will not know if you were impaired or if you were even over the legal limit.  Usually judges don't ammend charges anyway.  They make a decision on what the officer gives them.  They don't just go adding charges that can't be proven.

Not very good.  Check the state code in the state where you live.  VA = DUI 2nd is 30 days min to 1 year max but 20 days are mandatory not subject to suspension. Also depending on his blood alcohol level could be more days as well.  >.15 but <.20 = 10 additional days\n       >.20 = 20 more days

depending on where you are from..I am sure laws change from place to place..I would suggest speaking to a lawyer..most will allow you an hour of their time to sit and talk..for free...but the police cannot continue to pull you over or stop you for no reason..4 times for me ..I went to the police station..told them one more time and there would be police harrasment charges laid...it ended there..good luck to ya..gotta hate the cops on power trips

you dont, unless you can bargain real well with a lawyer, other than that i suggest stop drinking, or stop driving after you've been drinking...as far as i know a 3rd offense is a felony and felonies are punishable with a minimum of 1 year in prison

unfortunatly, even small amounts of cocaine in ohio is a felony, the amount you posses however determines what felony you are charged with(felony 1,2,3 Etc...) the amount that you were charged with is a felony 4 punishable by 1-3 years prison time. get a good lawyer cause youre gonna need one

Sorry, but I do not think you have a case, but check with an attorney.  Police still have to practice traffic safety laws.

HI MJ- Unfortunately, the law states that he can be charged, regardless of his state at the time. The only defense would be temporary insanity, but that has not worked in the past for people who were unaware of their actions due to too much alcohol or illegal drugs, so it would not likely be usable in this case either.  What may happen is that he could plead to a lesser charge due to impaired judgment brought on by a combination of a small amount of alcohol in conjunction with a legal benzodiazepene (I assume here that he had this as a prescription, and was not taking it illegally)- However, even that is iffy, because all people given BZDs are strongly warned about taking it with alcohol, and on the bottle itself there are strong warnings.  If he were using the drug illegally, then that pretty much shoots down all defenses.  But, in the end, just because he did not remember, or even know what he was doing, does not mean he will not be held legally accountable-he definitely will...how strongly will depend on his past record, the reason he was using the BZD, and the severity of the crime.  Get a good lawyer and try to plead a lesser charge based on reduced judgment due to ignorance of the drug interaction effect.  I just hope the BZD was a prescription for him.  Good luck, MJ

You must have already been arrested otherwise you wouldn't have taken a breathalizer to blow an 034 so that isn't the issue here. If the officer can articulate why he thought that you were driving under the influence, you can still be CONVICTED of driving under the influence of intoxicants AND/OR drugs. Get a good attorney. In cases like these, it is money well spent.

You will loose all driving rights in 50 states. The third DWI in Texas is a Felony. Could spend a year in jail.
