first off my criminal record: m.i.p. tobacco 2004 m.i.p. alcohol 2x 2005-06 possession of stolen property 3rd degree 2006 retail fraud 3rd degree 2007 failure to yield (traffic ticket) 2010 driving while license suspended march 2012. judge said i had 45 day delayed sentence.
2 days ago i got pulled over for my 2nd d.w.l.s. i bonded out right away. im 25yrs old with a full time job. i live in a very rural area.
i know it could be fines and/or up to 1yr in county. just curious if any of you guys have been in a similar situation and what your sentence was?

you probably need an attorney, you will look like you care and have a plan. Call some attorneys up and say you have a reliable job. You do not want to be in jail

should i pay for an attorney or get a court appointed? my boss is going to write a letter for the judge explaining how he needs me to be able to work and just to vouch for me i guess. not sure if it will help but it cant hurt. would it be possible to take probation or tether over jail? up to the judge im guessing. thanks for the advice guys.
i had open campus in high school so i would walk down the road to have a smoke. it was the school cop who caught me. thats pretty much all he did was drive around looking for minors smoking. he acted like he caught osama bin laden when he caught me smoking too. i seriously think he got off.and yes he was the biggest dickhead of a cop Ive dealt with to this day.

Do you have the option of court appointed in your state? Some states don't have pd for misdemeanors..others do.

If it comes down to t request work release. I did it for 3 months. You have no violent charges so I don't see why they would turn you down, especially with a letter from the boss.

eh work release isnt really an option. the jail is 45miles from my employment and i dont know anyone that would come pick me up and drop me off everyday. i guess i could offer em my paycheck. it would suck workin for free but better than being in jail 24/7.

You don't drive? I drove myself in work release. It would be a lot of driving but better than loosing your job

When was the first one? You haven't committed a real crime in roughly 5 years based on your timeline.

Here is a thought.
Why don't you learn to just obey the rules.
Think about how much time you spend worrying about what is going to happen to you.
Think about how living in this state is very unhealthy for your mind.
Rather you go to jail or not should be the least of your worries, you should be thinking more about how you can adjust your life so that you are not in these situations.

the reason for me not wanting to go to jail is so i can keep my job and continue trying to improve my life. the only reason for me driving was back and forth to work. i do agree the stress from this shit has a big impact on me. i am trying to live a better lifestyle. i think i have come a long way from who i used to be. going to jail and losing my job would be a huge setback.
my first dwls was march 2012

Have you settled the first DWI? If you get a good lawyer you can probably avoid jail time if you admit you have an alcohol problem and go through intensive rehab before your court date. How much money do you have? If it isn't a lot, I'm sure you're going to spend it all on a lawyer to get that deal for you though, so it is only worth it if you stop being a drunken fuckup.
