DUI case pending. Was pulled over again,investigated for DUI. Passed all. Will this be on my record? Can judge see I was stopped
Anonymous8 views5 answers
I have a current DUI case pending in court from this past September. Meanwhile this weekend I was detained by the original (same) officer in my DUI case and asked to perform a field sobriety test . (note: I was stopped in the road to pick my wife up who was walking on the sidewalk). The police office pulled up and put his lights on. He had me do a Sobriety test, which I passed, then he sent me on my way. No ticket, nothing.
My concern and question is, will this show up on my record and more importantly show up as a DUI investigation on my record, and will the Judge be able to see it? Could this affect my current case?
In Tacoma Wa, Pierce County, by Tacoma Police Dept.
From the facts here, it doesn't sound like you were charged with another DUI after passing the sobriety tests on the second time. Because you were not charged, this will not show up on your record. It's unlikely this incident would be brought to the judges attention, but you should inform the attorney that is representing you on the initial DUI charge about this situation.
If in fact no report was made then The only people that know you were stopped are you and the officer. With the pending case you would have conditions of release. If one of those is no consumption of alcohol, and there was evidence that you had been consuming alcohol, it could be a problem doesn't sound like that's the case.
Likely not. If you were not arrested and given the opportunity for a Breath Alcohol Content (BAC) test then it is highly unlikely that the officer will refer a report to the prosecutor for charges.
