Criminal Law/Moving out of state with a DUI conviction

Expert: - 7/27/2009


Question
I am currently enrolled in a multiple offender program in California and have just started a month ago.  I want to move out of state.  Is there a way to transfer my classes or anything that I can do?  Do have to stay in California until the coarse is complete?

Answer
Mike,

I have never been to California in my life.  I have no idea about their laws and/or programs.  That is why I put in profile that I can't possibly know about every law in country.

 Why not ask the person who you report, the person running the program, or someone teaching one of the classes?  I am sure that they would know.


Ok I am more than a little puzzled by your rating.  I am not a probation officer, I could not possibly know the answer to your question and neither could any other expert on here, yet I pointed you in the right direction where you got your answer and I get a rating that indicates that I don't know what I am talking about.

Please do not ask me about potential jail sentences that you, your friends, or family might receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. Only a judge could answer a question like that. I am also NOT a probation officer or parole officer so I cannot answer questions that relate to parole or probation. Also please keep in mind that every state has different laws. If you are planning to ask a question about a specific law or criminal charge that pertains to your state only it could be difficult to answer. I also cannot give you legal advice on what to do or what not to do in court. Retired police officer with 26 years experience. Worked in the patrol division as well as over 14 years in the detective bureau. Investigated a wide range of crime such as murder, rape, robbery, theft, fraud, missing persons, and other very sensitive crimes. I am available to answer your questions about criminal law and especially as it applies to police work. I taught at the police academy for several years and am especially knowledgeable about search and seizure. Any question about criminal law is welcome! Please don't ask me to do your homework or ask me questions that obviously come from your teachers or professors. I also do not do online interviews or surveys. Young people need to gain face to face interviewing skills. Local police officers usually are very agreeable to assist in these assignments.

Experience

I am a retired police officer with 26 years experience. I investigated almost every type of crime including murder, rape, theft, missing persons, fraud, and domestic abuse. I am very knowledgeable about search and seizure and taught at the police academy for several years on a variety of subjects. I can answer questions that a lot of attorneys cannot since they do not have "street experience".
