Frequently Asked Questions
If the officer does not show up at my initial court date will my DUI be dismissed?
No, a DUI is a misdemeanor not a traffic infraction. The initial court date is an arraignment and the police officer will not be present. In fact the police officer may never be present during the court proceedings until the date of trial if any.
