I got a dui last night, the state trooper made it sound like I would be ok since it is my first offense. What do I need to do, what can I expect? I blew under a .15 so that's why he said it wasn't a big deal. Any advice will be appreciated!

Post bail.

Buddy got one in a similar situation on shawnee mission parkway and nall a couple of years ago, blew a .10. It was a checkpoint and they had a mobile processing unit on site then he called me to pick him up from the parking lot.

He got a lawyer and was placed on diversion for 1 year, completed the diversion(said it was super easy) and the charge was waived/dismissed assuming he doesnt get one for another 10 years or something, if he does it would count as his second.

But yeah, still lost his license for a month and had to drive with a breathalyzer for a couple months.

TL:DNR- Get a lawyer.

a) don't drink and drive
b) if you get pulled over and they ask if you have been drinking the answer is always "no". never "just two" or "not for a couple hours" or "not since last night".

A few years ago, when I was 20, went thru a checkpoint after having 3 or so in an hours time. Felt fine but still illegal. Approached the checkpoint in my buddy's car. Cop asked me if I had anything to drink, I paused nervously, and answered no. That was it.

No is the way to go.

Lawyer in my neighborhood said that it is usually pretty easy to beat DUI's in court. He basically said that you have to have been extremely plastered or have a really bad atty to not get out of it.

You know you are going to get raked through the coals because of your last comment, but you are correct. If you are partying with some bros in their neck of the woods (city), then they should expect that you might need a place to crash.

what happened to the good old days when you could have a few boozes and take a leisurely drive to get more boozes? my dad never drove anywhere without a 6 pack of booze on the seat next to him.

america, you're getting soft!

When I was a kid, my dad coached our little league team (10-12 years old). He and his assistant coach would drive 6-7 of us in our van to and from games against other small Kansas towns. Often on the way home they would stop and get all of us kids a pop and they would each get a 16 oz Coors for the road. Weird to think about that now. I mean, no other parent thought anything of it and most would do the same thing.

My only similar story to this one was getting stopped one time after fishing. I had one beer over an hour before we left, but a couple of my friends were with me and each had a couple. We were driving across the damn and it was really windy and all of a sudden I see lights. I pulled over at the end of the damn and the officer comes up and asked if we had been drinking because he said "I can smell the intoxicant wafting out of the vehicle". I broke the steve dave rule and said yes, but it had been a few hours earlier. He then asked me to get out of my pick up and as I'm getting out the bud light bottle cap which I had put in my pocket falls out on the pavement and clinks around. He shines his flashlight on it and says "I don't like to see that". By this point I'm scared to death and he asks me to walk back with him to his vehicle. We get in and he starts filling out some papers and then he says "so, did you catch any fish?". I'm thinking what in the world is this guy doing? He then proceeds to tell me that he can tell after our walk that I was fine and it was probably my friends in my pick up that he smelled and then gave me a warning for reckless driving because I was crossing the center line because of the wind on top of the damn. It was a strange experience.
