help plz,any one knows what the charges are for a second DUI offence (misdemeanor) tho,within 5 years of first
the first DUI was a felony and it was 5 years ago.. the second was a misdemeanor dui.. it was a couple of months ago. is jail time a mandatory or could it be avoided?
this happened in the state of CA. the first one was 5 years ago n the second one back in June. i was only a misdemeanor coz the driver had .9 alcohol level.so any one knows what the punishments are?? is jail time mandatory?? or could it be avoided? is there options?
You need to tell people what state you’re in. Nobody can give you an accurate answer without knowing what state’s laws you’re asking about.
EDIT:
Ah, California law. Have to love it.
If your last California DUI was a felony, your next DUI (within ten years of the first) is a felony again. It looks like it *could* be charged as a misdemeanor, but in my limited experience it’s charged as a felony.
Any way to avoid jail time? I don’t think so, and I certainly hope not.
