WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A CALIFORNIA DUI ARREST

December 17, 2019

In California, after a DUI case, the arresting officer prepares a police report and submits it to the prosecutor, who then drafts a complaint and files it with the Superior Court.  Although some agencies do direct filing, most will rely on the prosecutor to review and file the criminal case against an individual suspected of a DUI.  Usually, the arrested person is not given the police report until the day he is scheduled to come to court.  On the day of the arrest, the arresting officer will also hand you a citation, commonly known as “a ticket”, with a day of the appearance in the Superior Court and the location of the Courthouse. The prosecutor who files the criminal DUI complaint […]

How long does a DUI stay on your record in California?

April 19, 2018

In California, a DUI will stay on your driving and a criminal record for 10 years.  The 10 years are counted from an offense date to an offense date and not from conviction date to conviction date.  A prior DUI, when charged by the prosecutor, is deemed a “prior”.  The “priors” or “priorability” is legal terminology for a type of offense that carries a more severe punishment for repeat crimes. For example, a second DUI arrest within 10 years of the first DUI arrest will be filed as a second DUI and will carry mandatory jail time.  Instead, if there are more than ten years between your first and second DUI cases, the DUI will be only a “first” DUI even when […]
