Guest MTI Stroker Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 a buddy of mine got one, he is loosing his cdl and everything! if he does not get a good attorney that can beat this he will loose everything! He was not even driving when the police got there. i guess he was sitting inthe truck parked behind the place he drives for and they came up to him and said they had a off duty state trooper call 911 and complaine about the driving and followed him to where he worked.then the columbus police show up and took him down town and charged him with dui and refusal. anyway if you know of any good ones let me know so i can pass it on. I do not want to see a friend loose his lively hood! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MTI Stroker Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 yes but the guy was sitting behind where he works and he said the keys were on the seat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthmonkey Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 it doesnt matter where you are at. You can get a DUI for being in your drive way in your car with the keys in the ignition with the car off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Dude he is not fucked at all. If this is his first offense then if he finds the right attorney, they can get him out of the DUI part. It is obviously gonna cost him some dough but it can be done. I know a friend of mine has had 3 DUI and he still has a licence so try and find a good attorney, make sure he goes and talks to the attorney before any court stuff..

Jeffrey Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Whatever happened to taking responsibility for ones actions. Drunk driving is against the law, your friend knew the concequences but did it anyway. Getting a lawyer to get out of it is a bitch move, your friend should man up. As well as anyone else who ever tried to get out of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a friend of mine has had 3 DUI and he still has a licence so try and find a good attorney, make sure he goes and talks to the attorney before any court stuff.. Still dosen't help him.....he refused to test! If he was drinking or not, a refusal is an automatic suspension. At least in the court down here. It could be different in Franklin county. But I am in court everyday and I see it on a daily basis. People think if they don't test they won't get into trouble. Then they arrive in court to find their liscence is suspended anyway. It makes for some good entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Samuel H Shamansky. Word. He lives right across the street from my parents, dude is the shit in court! He's gotten MANY of my friends stuff removed/reduced, including DUI's, street racing, eluding, 160+ in 65, etc, this dude CAN do it, it just depends on if your willing to pay for his quality.

It's a state law, you sign a contract when you get your license that if you refuse a breathalizer your license is automatically taken away for 1 year. There are no if ands or buts about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as anyone else who ever tried to get out of one. Getting a DUI is a bitch move. Not getting good legal defense for yourself in court is stupid. The lawyer does NOT absolve responsibility for your actions; he/she will review what REALLY happened and offers what legal rights you are entitled to. Let someone else be a pariah. I'm recommending a solution that works...the buster can feel free to do whatever he wants with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that context I agree, it is stupid not to have legal help, especially if the police went about it wrong, BUT it sounds like he knew he did something wrong otherwise why refuse? I am just saying he knew the concequences he knew it was something wrong yet he did it anyway. Use the legal help to get the punishment he deserves, not to avoid punishment all together, that is what I am saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhh yea, he has a very nice collection of cars including ferrari's, porshe's, audi's, bmw's, an original shelby mustang, etc, a nice fleet. I stare in envy everytime I drive by, lol. Good luck to your friend, he's not cheap but he does get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
