(Massachusetts) I had a bench trial today for #2. I was found guilty and got the regular minimum punishment. 2 years probation, 2 years loss of license on top of the 3 for not blowing, and the 2 week residential program. They didn’t mention anything about a iid or anything I’m assuming that will come from the RMV in time. For the probation they didn’t mention any random drug or alcohol tests, will they tell me that stuff when I meet with probation formally? Any advice or words of wisdom? It took two years to get this to trial and I kind of feel relieved. Now I just need to figure out how to deal with my life for the next 3 years

Hey I’m in Tennessee I got charged with dui I accidentally hit a church I blacked out . The police arrested me and said I refused a breathalyzer . I have a misdomenor a b & c..

Will they just test for bac . And what should I do …. I need help I’m mentally scared . What should I expect please be nice . What do I do

Hi everyone. I am in Virginia. I was the one who posted about how this is a nightmare. Because it is. I went to the treatment assessment today and she didnt really ask any assessment questions but told me I need treatment. I feel like they just tell everyone that to suck money out of you and while I genuinely believe she is trying to help people I still dont think I need addiction treatment. So my question is has anyone had a 10 week treatment and what is it like? She said I have to go to AA and I do not want to do that at all. It sucks. Any one in VA go through this?

My lawyer has said he won’t ask the DA for a plea deal is just waiting for them to bring it up as he feels in negotiations you don’t want to look as though your desperate or want to end things. Over a year since arrest and next court date is in December, have been doing extensive mitigation

For those of you who received plea deals did the DA bring it up to your lawyer first or did your lawyer say ok enough is enough what’s the plea?

Im accepting a plea tomorrow that requires I go on probation for a year (technically 6 months if I behave myself which I plan to) Im just wondering what others experiences have been in recent years with Suffolk county dwi probation & what I should expect. How often they will do random home visits, for the most part I am at work all day 11-10 5 days a week. I don’t plan on messing it up & drinking or smoking but what to expect with the random drug testing as well? Do they like camp out outside my house/job to make sure I’m not driving or going out to bars/clubs etc. I am so new to this lol just looking for some insight. Does the situation in which I got arrested for the dwi affect the strictness of the probation like idk I hate being treated like a delinquent for making a mistake. Any information is appreciated thank you.

Well, I fucked up. Driving home last night, pulled over. Blew positive, got arresred. I have no idea what I actually blew at the station because I was so fucking scared. I've never been arrested before. I am in the process of retaining a lawyer. I was charged with DWI single offense and not aggrevated DWI. I'm scared to go to jail. I am hoping for a plea deal. I'm a mental health counselor waiting for full NYS licensure. I turn 27 today. I feel like my life is over. At least I'm sober now, but the cost feels so heavy.
