One night, a police officer was stalking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible violations of the driving under the influence laws. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys on five different cars before he found his.
Then, sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started his engine and began to pull away.
The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, “Tonight, I’m the Designated Decoy.”

Spike Lee’s semiautobiographical, 1994 film about the good and bad times for a Brooklyn family in the ’70s has passion and nostalgic good feeling, but it is also a mess of random reflections and arbitrary storytelling. The centerpiece of the movie is a little girl (Zelda Harris) who views the ups and downs of her parents’ experiences (mom and dad are played by Delroy Lindo and Alfre Woodard), and …
Airdate 1/4/09 Every 39 minutes, a drunk driver kills a person — that’s 13,000 Americans per year. One New York district attorney has taken the unusual step of charging a man with murder, not manslaughter, for a driving drunk accident that killed two people, including a child. The DA says the driver “had a completely depraved indifference to human life,” but his lawyer tells Bob Simon his client…
Dui First Offense what will happen at court for a first offense dui conviction with bac of .2+ in Mississippi?
ticket was for careless operation of vehicle, he was drinking and driving and swerving on I 59 in Picayune, Pearl River County. Court date is in May, he has time served, has been in AA since the offense in October, and ACER classes as well. Just wondering what could happen to him. Oh, age 34.
If dui is all he’s charged with, he would have to pay a fine of $1,000 or more, a court cost (I’m in NC–it’s $120), may have to pay a fine for his cost in incarceration (nominal), and he will get 12 points on his license (or whatever the max is in Miss.), and his driving privilege will be suspended for a year. The ACER and AA will make no difference. Judges have a strict formula they must follow, and can’t deviate from the formula just because someone did ACER or especially AA.
You just got your California dui first offense, what’s next
South Carolina Dui Is it legal for South Carolina traffic courts to give police the power of preosecuting attorney’s?
This is true. If you are pulled over for a DUI, speeding, littering, etc. When you go to court there is no solicitor, only you and the police officer who has the power of a prosecuting attorney, before the judge. The judge follows the suggestions of the police officer. To verify what I am saying is true, call any traffic court in SC.
I got pulled over for throwing a Cigarette butt out the window, which is considered littering. The state fine is $200.00, but the police officer suggested to the judge $540.00, so I had to pay or go to jail. Speeding 20 miles over the speed limit or speeding thrpugh a school zone is a lesser fine.
If you answer, please no lectures on smoking or littering!!!
Most States have a prosecutor/solicitor for trying cases. Police do not have law degrees and what would even prevent from fabricating an offense because of prejudisim, etc. unless it was on video?
Actually this seems to be an advantage to the prosecutor.
You argue that they may lie and you believe some prosecutors don’t?
The advantage is the police officers don’t know evidence rules and aren’t sophisticated in court room rpocedure..this is better than going against a seasoned attorney,
It seems SC doesn’t want to devote prosecutoral resources to traffic citations

Michigan Drunk Driving Sentencing for Impaired Driving in Michigan?
I was offered a plea bargain from OWI operating while intoxicated to OWVI operating while visually impaired. I did take the plea and it was accepted, due to my clean driving record. Now i have to wait for a sentencing, but i do understand i have to take a mandatory alchohol asessment test. What comes from that? I am seeing a counselor on my own voluntarily, and she confirms i have no drinking problems, nor am i an alcholholic. Can the judge look down on all the positive things i am doing to correct what will not happen again? Has anyone ever been deferred a lower sentence if they have passed a period of probation of 6months or greater? Please notify me of any recent facts i can possibly check out, or what not.
“but i do understand i have to take a mandatory alchohol asessment test. What comes from that?”
I took one in NJ. It was just a survey, and an interview. It will ask you how often you drink. You will of course answer rarely, and always in moderation. It will ask stupid things like “how often do you blackout from drinking?” . Even if you were a hopeless drunk you could get through it by answering deceptively, and not appearing drunk to the interviewer.
It started out as a post-swim meet pizza date. All too soon, the evening turned into on of screams and death, four lives lost, two kids terribly injured, the Buick smashed beyond recognition by the impact of the heavier convertible, whose driver was the fourth fatality. But it didn’t end then. Forty years later, after-effects of the crash were still reverberating among the survivors–siblings, par…
Drunk Driving Laws How strictly are drunk driving laws enforced?
In the United States you cannot have a BAC of over .08%. How strictly is this law enforced? If you have a BAC of .085% will you be arrested?
It is not set in stone the .08 but rather a line to go by. If an officer feels that you are too impaired to operate a motorized vehicle you can be arrested.
You may be able to beat this in court but at least for the evening you will not be on the street
