Ten things you should do after a DUI Arrest
|
Ten. In order to save your driver's license, you or your attorney must notify the driver’s license bureau within the specified period of time!
Nine. You must notify the licensing bureau in writing and have a receipt of delivery.
Eight. Don't rely on a telephone call. This will not preserve your rights and you will have no proof.
Seven. If you do not act within the specified period, the licensing bureau will take action against your driving privileges immediately, whether you are in state or out of state.
Six. Even if you have a license from another state, and even if the officer did not take your license, your state may also take action against your driving privileges. Due to the sharing agreement between most states, things have become difficult for the convicted DUI driver.
Five. TEMPORARY DRIVER LICENSE'S are only valid for the time listed on the document provided. If you did not receive this document, you can ask the officer's supervisor to have this issue explained and clarified.
Four. Do not confuse the previous mentioned license issue with your court date! The most unrealized fact is that the state will punish you both by taking your license through administrative action and then punishing you again in criminal court. These are two separate proceedings!
Three. There are three (3) issues at Florida admin hearings, was there probable cause to stop the individual, did the officer find a reasonable suspicion and the taking or refusal of the breath test. If you refused, this fact will be used against you to imply that you are guilty. Usually you must explain refusals completely to win. Don't try this alone though; hearing officers are trained to handle these hearings.
Two. The state must satisfy the burden of proof to prevail on all issues. If the state satisfies the burden of proof on only part of the issues, you win. It’s the law!
One. All this attorney has to do is knock out one issue to save your license & you avoid the harsh civil penalties now being imposed by licensing bureaus in Florida!
