Invariably if you look at the money trail that leads from you when you get involved with a DUI you'll find a long and winding path with many forks off of it. Just follow the money and you will see so many with their hands out waiting to be paid. Let's go over briefly where the money goes.
The Police and the City
If nothing else is involved or nothing else complicates your DUI, at the very minimum, the police department and the city are going to profit off of your DUI. The police department is now a money-making, for-profit, venture that the city and state runs. The entire DUI detection process that the police engage in, is to ensure they can write up a slam dunk DUI on you. They have realized that these laws that they pass can have a fine attached to it, which will generate millions for them, nearly free of charge, i.e. without raising taxes. Where does that money go? Pockets! The city is now run as a for profit, money making venture. All licenses are nothing more than an up front tax to you. DUI is a cash cow that they will never let go of.
Remember, there was a time when there was NO law concerning DUI. There was a time when you did not pay for being drunk behind the wheel, smelling of alcohol behind the wheel, and nowadays having an alcoholic container somewhere in the car OR EVEN TRUNK.
Were the streets less safe then than they are now? No! DUI laws are not there to prevent accidents. In fact DUI laws don't even take the most dangerous people off the street. Disregard all the hype you've heard. They revealed that there are many many states, that let go of people who accumulate multiple upon multiple infractions of DUI. There was a story of a guy with 12 DUIs. And, he was let go again. If I had to guess, I'd venture that he paid in full, every fine they gave him.
Online Traffic School
Let us think about this very carefully and with a clear mind. You get a DUI and the judge says "enroll in an online course or attend one in person for traffic school." How in God's green earth is traffic school even legal for adults who already have licenses. What does traffic school offer people after completing it? Nothing!
Online DUI courses or in person were nothing more than ways for private companies to make money. None [at least in Las Vegas or Nevada] of the DUI schools are run by the state. What does that tell you? The entire DUI school is a scam. It was a scam to get it as part of your sentence. It is a scam that you have to pay for it.
I guarantee you that these DUI schools have vast power, that the general public is not aware of. How else could private companies be a part of a criminal sentencing. I smacks of corruption to its core.
Lawyers
What lawyer are we talking about? Remember, there are always 3 lawyers in a court room [assuming you're not a nimrod and did hire a lawyer of your own], the judge, the District Attorney, and your lawyer. Assuming you didn't hire a sheister lawyer that is going to take advantage of you at the cost of handing you over to the state, the other two guys are the scammers.
How do you fight a fire? With fire. Get your own lawyer or else you are a dumb dumb. DUI is so serious that you don't even realize the implications until it is far too late.
It is better that you should overreact and hire the best lawyer, then undershoot it and end up in jail on your first offense, without even an accident being involved. It can happen. Imagine if you overreact and hire the best damn lawyer you can, and he gets your DUI completely removed and not so much as a moving violation comes out of it. Thank your lucky stars and pay the man anything he asks. Trust me the state is prepared to bend you over and take every red cent you have.
---------------> You are nothing more than a meal ticket to them. <------------------
Get you a lawyer. Better yet, get yourself a litigator. That is a lawyer who has dedicated his life to actually trying cases.
There are lawyers and then there are litigators. The litigator is a beast all unto himself. And, the two are not equal. A litigator... well you can just call him a super lawyer.
Also, just like there are coaches / teachers and then there are professional players, that's how you should see lawyers as well. You can have someone who sits in his office all day long that makes millions, but put him in a court room and he looses his mind. On the other hand, you can have a litigator who lives in the court room, who can merely threaten to "see you in court," and the other side drops the case altogether.
Remember, the judge has baggage. The D.A. has baggage. Get you a litigator and watch that baggage come out. They are just like bullies. They pray on the weak. They hand out thousands of DUIs every year and hope everyone just pays the money. If you show up with an attorney in tow, they don't want to see you. See, then YOU are costing them money. Nine times out of ten it is not worth the hassle if you have a lawyer, to take it to the next step. And, God forbid you have a known litigator. I mean, that's just "poop my pants" time for them.
Conclusion
DUI is a money laundering scam. The state and everyone else has their hand out for your CASH. Don't be a fool and think you can just pay it and it will go away. They will get you over and over and over. They want your money. They don't want justice. They don't want safety. They are not interested in preventing drunk driving. They want your money.
Get you the best damn lawyer you can find.
