Business 7 views 2 answers
I got caught with my first DUI in New mexico and with that I got a speeding ticket and no drivers licence. . The day before I got caught which was Friday night and Saturday I was smoking very very heavily on marijunana. I know I well not pass but is there a way for my explanantion? I don't know how to tell them. What we'll happen if I fail? I have less then 1 week for court.

You should talk about it with your attorney. It would be a violation of the standard Conditions of Release we have to abide by here in new Mexico. (You should have a court order with those conditions of release, ass part of your paperwork from the court). However, the court will only find out if they test you. UA's, depending on which system the court uses, only go back 3 - 5 days. Did you retain an attorney? If not, you should. Also, did you request an MVD hearing within 10 days of your arrest? Was the DUI based on alcohol, alcohol and drugs, or drugs, alone?
