The defense attorney can get a copy of the report when it goes to court. The police won't hand it out to just anyone.

If you are representing yourself, the judge may order that discovery be granted to you, but this is a decision for the court. You can also ask the DA if they will release a copy of the report to you. The police will almost certainly not give it to you.

Hence the reason you were arrested for public intoxication and not DUI. You were lucky.

Hello Carl

I am not able to hire an attorney. My financial situation is not so good. So Can i get a public defender in court. I mean attorney from court.

You must have gone through lots of cases of Public Intoxication. Can you just guess that

If a person is having first offense [Public Intoxication] on his record and nothing else before. What would be the possible outcomes in the court.

I know I asked you before also this one but my question just directs to thats whether that personw ill go into jail or not for this. If you have seen 100 cases likes this before. How much % do u have think have gone to jail

Regards

If your case includes the possibility of jail time you should be able to qualify for a public defender at your arraignment.

It varies by county, but in most counties these rarely even GO to court. If you have not been issued a court date, then it's probably been resolved already and no court will be necessary. if you DO have a court date, then you likely face nothing worse than a small fine, MAYBE probation, MAYBE counseling, and MAYBE community service (or some combination). This tends to be on the same par as possession of marijuana in the grand scheme of things ... except that possession of marijuana does not allow for jail time.

First time offenses with no prior criminal history? I can't recall one that was sentenced to jail. However, I have only worked in three counties ... and there are 55 other counties that may frown on public intoxication. I doubt any will send a first timer to jail, but it IS theoretically possible.

Thanks Carl

I do have a court date which they gave me before I left the cell. It is mentioned on yellow ticket which I got.

I got arrested in Placer County, Sacramento area, california.

Can you suggest some good attorney for this case or do you think i should just go to court without attorney and if judge asks for public defender I should get one in court.

Regards

I can't really recommend any good lawyers in Placer County as I am not familiar with many of them. If you can afford an attorney then the court won't appoint one for you.
