What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY, Saratoga County
Couple of questions concerning a buddy.
Background: 1 DWI 3 years ago pled down to a DWAI in Saratoga County.
Current: Charged with ADWI 1.8 or more), DWI and numerous violations (no seatbelt, swerving, refusal of FST) in the same County, Saratoga.
Questions: 1. How can one be charged with a DWI and ADWI during the same stop?
2. It is my understanding that if the stops occur in the same county they can not be pled down.
3. Initially the police did not see the prior so charged with misd, not a felony.
4. Could this be bumped to a felony and what are the possible (probable) outcomes?
Thanks,
Ralph C.
