What are the minimum penalties for First time DUI?

What US State?

Taking a guess here based only on the title of the thread and single question, and seeing as how no state has been provided:

The minimum penalty for a first time DUI would be $0 fine/0 days jail time/no diversion/no probation/no community service hours.

That would be if the ticket can be dismissed for some reason.

After re-reading the question, I agree with quincy, but for a different reason.

The minimum penalty for a first time DUI is nothing, assuming the operator wasn't caught.

But how would the operator receive the first time DUI, if the operator wasn't caught?

The missing word is "citation."

Based on statistics (if there are statistics on this, and I am sure there must be, and I am sure they support this), if there is a first time DUI citation, there has likely been several prior DUIs that were not cited. Luck eventually runs out or fate intervenes or [place your own preferred idiom here].
