a few days ago i was driving with a friend of mine to his house, after a couple drinks at a bar. we were not speeding, swerving or driving erratic. we pulled into a gas station, and immediatly saw a cop pull in behind us and turn its red and blue lights on. the officer then said, "why were you speeding, you were going 60", which i was NOT. my friend and i were NOT impaired enough to ignore the spedometer, and in the 45 mph street we were on, we never exceeded 45. the officer did not clock me with radar, it was an "estimate", that he of course had no proof of. he then asked for my license, which regrettably i've never had. i'd taken the written portion of the driving test before, but i had failed, and embarassingly, i never attempted to get a license again. being nervous/niave and unfamiliar with being arrested, i agreed to the field tests, and told him i had drank a couple beers. when he went to search my pockets, he found a small amount of marijuana, and a pipe. at the police station, i agreed to taking a breath test for alchohol, in which i blew .09. the legal limit in arizona is .08.
i understand and accept that i have stepped into legal hell by not having a license, driving drunk, and carrying marijuana on me. but sitting here accepting impending doom, not educating myself, and pleaing guilty without any kind of fight, is not going to help. im a married, stay at home dad, i am NOT a criminal.
if you or a friend has had a similar situation, please feel free to tell me any experiances you've had, along with any advice you have
thanks in advance!
