For those with legal/driving record questions

I think you have the wrong idea. I was at an intersection. I waited for the traffic to clear. I saw the bike officer sitting down the road a little way to my left. Traffic cleared and I proceeded to pull into the intersection and make my left turn. The cop immediately pulled put and fell in behind me and pulled me over. Yes I immediately took pictures from all angles. There is an island dividing the road about 100 yards down the road but its not anywhere near the area where i was pulling out. The lines pon the road cannot be seen if they are solid yellow or one solid and one broken from the drivers seat of a car at the intersection. The next road to the East has a stop sign and a sign reading "Right turn only" I think I can beat it.We'll see. Thats not the major issue. I need to be getting on the road ASAP and am wondering if anyone knows a company that might hire me with a pending minor violation thats only worth one point on my driving record if I dont beat it.

Once you turn over your regular license and get your CDL, your record will become clean 'magically'.

It happened for me.

THC metabolites will register for 30-45 days after last use from a chronic everyday smoker. Not 6 months. That is an internet myth either purported by the unknowing, or the "beat a drug test" folks.

It will register in hair indefinitely, but most companies that do hair testing can go back only 90 days due to legal reasons.

It was a girlfriend that I was with at the time. We were parked in the car around midnight or so when a security guard called the cops on us and didn't let us leave the parking lot we were parked at until the cops came (2hrs later ) he had us blocked in with his car. I had nothing to hide so I patiently waited. Then after I denied everything he arrested me and cited me for DUI. He said that my eyes were red( but happened to pass every test that he gave me). Then at the station they drew blood and did other test and thee me in the holding tank for 6-8 hrs and released me w/ a DUI citation. I knew I had nothing to hide cuz the ticket never made it to court!! It's been over 3 years and nothing ever came up. They kept my CDL and said it will b suspended in 30 days.2 week from the day of my arrest the dmv re enstated my CDL and my new CDL came in the mail. The only thing is the arrest is on my mvr & and it say my CDL was suspended for 2 weeks then re enstated.CAN EMPLOYERS FIND OUT ABOUT THIS? WILL THEY ASK WHAT HAPPENED? IT NEVER MADE IT TO COURT, SHOULD I BE UP FRONT & MENTION WHAT HAPPENED?

Sounds like if you are truly innocent, you need to take steps to get the arrest and suspension expunged off your record. Of course an employer is going to ask you what happened.

1. Obviously, the girlfriend du' jour was able to get rid of anything, so I'm guessing there was no possession charge.

2. Something doesn't add up. You say they drew blood and issued a DUI citation, but then they didn't prosecute it. What other charges and tickets were involved with all of this to have to go to court? We're they able to "arrest" you for something else?

I'm guessing the blood test came back inconclusive and they had already written the ticket, so they couldn't follow through with it.

Something doesn't sound right about the story. Gotta love those rent a cops. Can't even sneak off for a little pot smokin' paradise by the dashboard light fun anymore.

I hired a Loyer and she ended up having to refund my $$ cuz there was no case. As for the girl I was with, she was able to walk away cuz she wasn't the on driving.

My bad. Old post too.

No, I'm not stoned.

If I were you I would pull out the bong and fire up some killer skunk buds. But it can take up to 65 days to depends on how fat you are. If you work out you can sweat it out.(or at least speed up the process.shave your head and the new hair will be clean. The majority of trucking companies just do the pee test. Because of the cost involved.

How about you find a different line of work? We don't need anymore potheads driving big rigs. If you have to ask questions about any of your behaviors or past legal issues, you probably already know the answer.

I went to court to try to get my obligation reduced from $2,200 a month (one child) to something trhat more closly represented my new reality of much less income.Only those that know how the family court system works will be able to relate, but my request was refused. Finally almost 2 years later, after I had fallen behind and eventially had to close the business and declare bankruptcy the judge granted my request, but left me still owing about $15,000 in arrears.
Will this keep me from getting my CDL?

If they have not suspended your regular license because of back arrears then it wouldnt affect getting a CDL either..
