Ct wants the money. They know how the system works. You have no choice but to get a dui attourney to post a continuance for you. They know you didn't have enough time and are hoping you show up without legal counsel so they can get maximum fine out of you. ONLY ADVICE- GET A DUI ATTOURNEY TODAY! He will post a continuance for you and defend you on retainer. Get that phone book out right now. Do not hesitate. Write down all circumstances. Explain clearly, and shop around for the lawyer.


I understand what you are saying, but I work in substance abuse, and every person I see for a dui lawyer or not, gets the same charges.....

I heard that I can play my accelerated rehabilitation card when I go to court because I have never been in trouble before

Driving is an issued priveledge, not a given right. This is not a debate. This is about your future. A public defender will plea out and still make the charge stick so the state still gets your money and lots of it. Get a dui attourney.


how do I get money for something like that, where do I find a lawyer, I've never had to do anything like this before!

Hummmm too bad you did not refuse the breatlyzer, they pretty much have you on the charges like the rest said seek legal counsel.

In CT refusing a breathlyzer is an admission of guilt, the penaltys are worse!

The act of putting someone into a squad car, or putting them in handcuffs, by definition, is arresting them. The door can be opened, or the cuffs removed without any charges being filed.



I though you had to have your rights read when you arbeing put under arrest.... no?
no....actually you are read your rights when you are being charged.
all that is trivial though, they had probable cause, YOU need an attorney now !!!!
more than likely the charges will be reduced or dropped!!!!



I cannot afford a lawyer unfortunatly.... I am trying to gather information and literature to better prepare myself.
ok a good attorney wont let this go to court....it will be plead out with the states atty.
100-500 dollars
fine2000-4000, raised ins 10,000.incarrceration lost wages you cant afford not to


Its my first offense, and my record is flawless..... still need an attorney?
even the greatest atty's will not defend themselves....YES!!!

ok look at this.....085 right???
if you were stopped at 10pm and they drew blood at 1 am your bac was on the rise. it takes time for the alcohol to get into your blood.
therefore you may not have been impaired when they stopped you, but you were when they tested.
thats an easy to prove.......get an atty....Take a loan if needed. otherwise its on your record for 10 yrs. the high risk ins will be 100 times higher than your atty.

I would take out a loan but my credits screwed, and I am working two jobs just to be able to enjoy my life.... WTF!

Well thats the thing I was stopped at 12:15am, administered a breatlyzer at 12:50am, which was .085, then administered a breathlyzer again at 1:30am and the results were .07.

That is an expensive lesson to learn on Drinking And Driving. Would have been cheaper to get a Taxi. Wish you well.

We don't have taxis out here, or any public transportation...


Wow...well, I send my best wishes and pulling for you in your corner...but next time...let a designated driver get behind the wheel.

def! I had no intentions of ever being a Drunk driver..... if i knew that the three drinks in three hours would put me over I would have never driven!

Well thats just part of it, I was charged with a DUI after leaving the bar, i only had 3 drinks in three hours! I didn't know the area very well and looked down for a second and hit a curb. Because I didn't do any damage I kept driving. They pulled me over and arrested me, charging me with evading and a DUI....... heres the catch the legal limit in CT is .08 I was .085.... they also didn't read me my rights til after I got to the station..... I just wanted to find out if they can charge me with evading since I did no damage....


The hitting of the curb was the "Probable Cause" to pull you over. The reading of your rights is determined by the breathalyzer results,unless you were falling down drunk, in which case it would have been on the side of the road.

I used to be a deputy as well..the evading is hard to call. If you saw them behind you,and did not stop, they have you. But, if you simply hit a curb,and then kept going, speak with a qualified attorney. Which is what you need to do anyway..


I was never told I was under arrest, they just slapped handcuffs on me and put me in the back of a cruiser. They then read me my rights when I got the station, and they shortly after they gave me the breathlyzer


Technically, your under arrest once the lights/siren are activated.


Really? Does that mean they did everything accordxing to the book?
