idiot don't drink under age and even if you had one drink "over 21" do not drive it is not worth risking it.

Bout time to hang the good ole closed sign up huh Adam???
Didn't intead for this threadto become a bashing on me. I realize that what I did was stupid and I regret as much if not more than any of you know. Thanks for everyone that tried to stop the bashing on me. My main point in posting this was to ask one question that I somehow left out in the original post: What are the odds I get jail time in the event I get convicted? Once again, I know what I did was wrong and I regret it whole heartedly. Hope I can still count all of you as my SVT brothers. Thanks for everything.
You come one here, admit to drinking, being underage, wrecking your car, want to know if the charges against you are bogus and then wonder about getting bashed?
If your orginal post had been like the one you have just written you wouldn't have needed that flame retardant suit.
If this is the first time you have been before the courts the odds of jail time are slim to none. Here in Tejas, DUI Minor is a ticket....however, you can count on your license getting suspended, a hefty fine/community service and probably some alcohol counseling classes

No, I havent. I wont say I dont drink alcohol. But I rarely drink alcohol. If I have one scotch three or four times a year that is a lot. And I never drive if I had any alcohol.

I never wondered about getting bashed I merely stated that I didn't intend for the post be that way. Intent is not wondering. But thank you for the info.
Don't you just love having a forum full of parents?? :rollseyes
Quit bashing him. He had a question about a law, which I thought was interesting and valid. He didn't come in here asking whether it is ok to drink and drive. I assume he has parents to answer to and we are not them. He doesn't need to be lectured by us. Everyone has screwed up, done something stupid or that they regret at some point in their life. Just answer his question and let it be.
Hope everything goes well with the Cobra. I have a buddy who is dealing with a DUI right now and it isn't fun. Good luck.

Shocking.....another civilian trying to tell us how to do our jobs.......
DUI is stupid and I have no sympathy for anyone who gets caught doing it. I have worked too many fatality and serious injury wrecks as a result of DUI. I would shoot all of them on site if the courts would let me..... no sympathy.

AMEN to that
:beer:
the next time i am in georgia i will make it a point to get hammered and smash into things

Actually, not all parents. Just Adults. That is what happens when you post in a forum moderated by L.E.O.s.
I am sorry you posted in the wrong forum but we dont have a "kiddy section".
He got his answer! The bashing was at no extra charge! Once again, if you ask a question in a forum full of L.E.O.s and admit to your stupidity and want to know how to get out of it, you should expect some type of negative response.
There is no evidence of that, yet!
He got his question answered. It may not be in the form you find pleasant or agreeable but that is all part of life.
Breaking the law and getting caught rarely is fun.
hmm....
Can't you get in trouble for saying stuff like that? Just curious, because although I agree with you, I'm just wondering if someone who gets DUI in your area could pull out this post, claim that Lawman85 was abusive to him, show this post as proof of his violent mentality, etc. etc.
I've been seeing a lot of legal cases for my work with bogus "proof" that has made me a bit more skeptical of our legal system... I suppose it's better than the rest, but it's far from perfect!

Wasn't there another post on here that said I also have 1st amendment rights??
You learned the hard way. Be glad you didn't hit anyone. Don't drink and drive. I won't have 1.
Get a good lawyer. If you get lucky, he'll get it reduced. In most places though, people don't take kindly to underage folks getting drunk and then driving.

It is not a bogus charge. In Illinois there's a zero tolerance policy for those under the age of 21. If you blow a anything over .00 in Illinois, you're charged with a DUI. It's possible that they'll charge you with consumption by a minor in addition to the DUI. I would suggest you find a good lawyer.

Big words. We have a lot of cops like you around here... Tough, macho, big men who have a badge and have all the power. Take it easy man, we all understand the anger you have, even me. Nobody is telling you how to do your job. Just relax.
I'm afraid I do not understand the mentality of people who drink and drive, especially after all of the news reports, all of the DMV advertisments and information releases. Not to mention the DUI checkpoints, MADD folks working overtime to get out the word, - the list is endless.
But let's face it, no one said the world was populated with rocket scientists, every day a substantial number of drivers drink and drive and take the risk (and expose others to a risk they did not ask for).
Personally I think the should re-write the dictionary so that the definition for the word STUPID includes the verbage "someone who drinks and drives".
