Was trying to dig up threads about this to no avail, but basically I got pulled over and initially blew a .11. Took me to the place and I opted for the blood test, not sure if that was smart or not...

Searched the whip and found some trees as well...

They didn't impound the car tho, they took me to some counseling place to sober up and then got picked up in the morning.

I know some of ya'll have been through this shit...

Is it worth getting a DUI lawyer ? Or am I going to get the same thing with a public defender...

Thanks in advance...

im not sure if its allowed in cali.. but since you opted for the blood test, you have the right to have your physician/doctor draw the blood for the test.

If you are stopped under suspicion of drunk driving, the law in most states requires that you be given a breath, blood, saliva, or urine test to check the alcohol level in your blood. With that said, there may be several ways to successfully fight the results of these tests in your DUI case.

The law in some states requires that you be allowed to have your own physician take your blood, and if the police deny you this right, you may be able to fight your DUI charges. You may also challenge the accuracy of the prosecution's blood alcohol evidence with an expert witness who may dispute the qualifications of the medical personnel doing the blood alcohol testing, question the maintenance and functionality of the breathalyzers or other testing equipment, or contest the procedures used in obtaining, sealing, labeling, storing and offering the evidence into trial. The DUI attorneys who sponsor Total DUI work with qualified medical and scientific experts who may be able to help fight your case on these grounds.

The thing is, they had a medic draw the blood already.


So I shouldn't bother contacting a lawyer I guess ? I'd be cool with the 'wet wreckless' plea, if anyone has heard of that...

^ Yeah, thats what I want to try to avoid at all costs...thats why I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I can get the 'wet wreckless' plea, which to the dmv I think still looks at as a DUI, except that you don't have to file the SR-22...

Plus the penalties are reduced I believe. But you basically have to plead no contest..

DUIs are probably the worst thing that can happen to a normally law obiding person, it fucks you over in so many ways aside from the fines, jail and classes. I wont even go out unless someone else is driving cuz my 3 years is almost up and i never want to deal with that bullshit ever again in my life

So did you get convicted ? Also, you had tree right...I'm hoping they drop that cause it was only like a gram.


Yeah funny thing is, I stopped smoking for like 4 months, and then came across some tree and low and behold, I get popped and of course they find it. right on tho man...this shit sucks already and i know this is just the tip of the iceberg.
