My neighbors kid got popped a few weeks ago. Has to go to court soon. I remember this being the way to keep it off your record. Is there something new? The kid has paid a heavy personal price already for this assholery so no need to hammer him on it.

Half the OT has a DUI so you've actually come to the right place.

How so? I need to know how he has paid for it before I decide to be helpful

How hard it is to call a fricking Uber instead of jeopardizing innocent lives on the road?

893 and 894 are still good law. Also many prosecutors have Pretoria diversion program that don't burn your 894

So you're reasoning on giving him a break is that the criminal is a 'good kid' and shouldn't have to pay the proper punishment for the crime he's committed? If this 'kid' wasn't your neighbor and lived in Scotlandville would you feel the same way?

I'm sure he dindu nuffin

sensitive subject, had a best friend get killed from a drunk driver.

to answer your question, i wouldn't say "worse" than but its still pretty fricking dumb in 2017 to get a DWI.

Agreed, just didn't quite follow your line of thinking in your first post before you edited

I can't remember the last time I drove drunk.


Even though it was last night.

You can asked the judge to sentence you under Article 894 without a lawyer if your record is clean, if he will do it or not is up to the judge and probably the BAC.

If he does it the kid will have a hefty fine, community service and better keep his arse out of trouble for a year

Because YOUR friend got killed by a drunk, everybody that gets caught doing what almost everybody does is among the lowest forms? Take a step back, champ.

And you'd feel totally different if it was your brother or sister or mother or daughter or son. Different perspective is all.
