I was pulled over for DUI in WA State after a holiday party and blew a .15. I've never had any problems with the law and never had a DUI before. I went to court and opted for deffered prosecution but what I didn't tell the court is that I've had plans to move to South America in April for good. What is the Statute of Limitations on this and will I always have the fines and a warrant waiting for me? What about my license?
I sure hope so!!!If I have an arrest warrant for a DUI in the U.S. and I'm living in another country will U.S. Customs check for that when I'm coming into the U.S. for a visit?
How on earth do people with DUI's, who have fled the county, who have warrant's out for their arrest, GET AMAZING JOB OPPORTUNITIES in the U.S.A.????Some Random Guy said:I hope your amazing job opportunity should be good enough to cover the cost of your lawyer and the fines. Get a lawyer in the county where you were charged and have him find out what can be worked out.
I'd suggest flying to Washington State and getting this taken care of well in advance of showing up for the job.
Gioberti said:No, I'm in Washington State now in a deferred prosecution program but moving for my job in South America in April. I was wondering if US Customs checked arrest warrants for people entering and exiting the States. I'm ashamed of what I did, but I lost my job here because my license is suspended and don't have any money for all the fees and fines. Why wouldn't I go? I can take care of my problems here later
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got confused there for a minute. I thought the guy was already out of the country trying to get back IN.Some Random Guy said:OK,
So the story is now that you are still in the US, but plan on leaving and then maybe coming back. You say "I went to court and opted for deffered prosecution but what I didn't tell the court is that I've had plans to move to South America in April for good."
Well its not april yet - have you abided by the terms of this deferred prosecution? Paid your fines and such? Or have you already blown them off and gotten a warrant for your arrest.
You will be much better off to fulfill your current obligation than to screw it up and get a warrant out for your arrest - which gives you a good chance of being arrested at the border.
I dont see whay they would report you to NICI. According to my internet search she is an Exotic Babe Built Like Barbie with Round Oversized Breasts and Half Inch Ni***esGioberti said:I guess I haven't been clear. Yes, I'm still in the deferred prosecution program in WA and I plan to fulfill as many hours as I can before I leave, but WA State requires about 9 months total with 2 years monthly check up. I also plan on selling my car because then and only then will I have the money to pay the fines. My concern is that now that I've been in the DP program can I up and ask the court to forget it and charge me with the DUI? Can I continue a program in S. America? Will they likely report me to NICI? What's my recourse?
