Los Angeles DUI and Sentencing
A Los Angeles DUI may have severe penalties, even if the crimes are minor. And it's important to remember that for the average person, even a few days in prison could radically change your life.
A Los Angeles DUI charge, even if it is a misdemeanor DUI, could lead to a jail sentence. For most working people, just one day in jail could interfere with their job, future career prospects, their credit score, and much more. One day in jail could be looked at by employers or lenders as a serious black mark, especially if you are in a white collar job.
For example, the coach of the UT Austin baseball team was pulled over for a DUI recently and spent four days in prison. Obviously, four days is not a long time, but this is a 70-year-old baseball coach who is also the winningest coach in college baseball history. Not exactly the kind of individual who would spend time in a prison unnoticed.
A Los Angeles DUI conviction could lead to one day in jail, ten days or quite a bit more for a felony DUI.
Los Angeles DUI crimes are to be taken seriously, no matter how seemingly minor they may be, and the utmost care should be taken to avoid any serious penalties.
You have to ask yourself the following question, "If I was convicted of aLos Angeles DUI and spent a week in jail, how would that affect my job, my standing in the community and the rest of my life?" The consequences could be dire, and in the age of the Internet, you may never escape such a charge.
