Help Getting False DUI Off My Record. Sorry So Long but I Need Help?
Question by NettyLouWho?: Help getting False DUI off my record. Sorry so long But I need help?
Long story. 5 years ago in Utah I made a left turn to fast at 7am a and high centered my car imidiatly 3 cops were there searching my car doing the breathalizer and all that stuff, couldn’t find anything so took me to the hospital for a blood test ’cause I take meds at night Whoopie big deal. anyway. on the court date I was in the state hostpital and they had a warrent for my arrest. they made a deal that if I went to florida to an eating disorder clinic they would drop everything. Well I did and they didn’t. I moved back home to Georgia. Well now I am back here in Utah and tried to get my liscence renewed and can’t unless I pay a $ 200 fee because I have a DUI. WTF. they will not reopen my case and the funny thing is that the lady I talked to in the courts told me they have on record that my sister spoke with them way back when that I was going into a drug treatment program and that’s why they were dropping it. LOL THat’s news to me. I don’t drink or do drugs.
They won’t repoen the case so I’m screwed there and I called the DMV and they won’t let me do anything so I’m stuck with a DUI on my record and that is sooo embarrassing. What can I do? Please help. Anything I can do? I’m desperate. How can they do this to people? Those police were just bord that morning and wanted someone to mess with.
Sorry. the results on the test were negative. I do not drink or do drugs.
also my meds do not and never have affected my driveing, I had been taking them for years.
I know I’m getting some great help from people. I hate that you can only pick one best answer. Thank you again.

One thing you did NOT mention was the results on the test for drugs/alcohol.
I would say that if it was positive and you do NOT have proof that they were going to dismiss the ticket, it will remain on your record. The courts WILL have proof.

A DUI means Driving Under the Influence. That doesn’t necessarily mean only alcohol and/or illegal drugs. It could also mean legal over the counter or prescription drugs.
What did the hospital blood test show. Seems to me you should have been told by the court what the result was along with your charge(s).
Did you not have a lawyer representing you in court? I find that almost impossible to believe but if you didn’t and don’t have one then YOU NEED TO GET ONE NOW.
Yes, they are expensive but normal people, like you and me, don’t have the knowledge to navigate the legal system. After all, you wouldn’t try to be your own surgeon, would you?
Or you could pay the $ 200, get your license back, and move on with your life. Your choice.
One other thing, have you actually checked to see if the DUI is still listed on your record? It may be that your Bureau of Motor Vehicles has no choice by law but to charge the reinstatement fee of $ 200.
Good luck
