Greetings respected LEO's,
A friend of mine, seriously, this is not about me, got pulled over for a DUI in Oakland a couple of weeks ago. They gave him the usual drills and the breathalyzer. He blew .09 or something like that. He was legally drunk for sure. The officer takes him to the county and takes his mug shot , the works.
So my buddy retains a lawyer and prepares for the worse.
Few days ago he got a letter in the Mail from the Alameda County DA's office saying that they will not be prosecuting him
However, there was a little blurb in the letter stating that the DMV might still apply the penalties resulting from a DUI conviction.
If I was reading this letter correctly:
1. My buddy is the luckiest SOB ever.
2. What could the DMV do since he was not convicted?
3. Will he still get the points on his license?
Thanks in advance for the response.
