Marin County Second Offense DUI
A person arrested for driving under the influence in Marin County after
having been convicted of a DUI in California or almost anywhere else in
the United States is facing serious charges. California driving under
the influence arrests typically initiate two cases. The first case is
a criminal DUI case which will be prosecuted by the Marin County District
Attorney's office at the Superior Court located at 3501 Civic Center Drive
in San Rafael. The second case is a Department of Motor Vehicles license
suspension action.
Marin County DUI prosecutors aggressively enforce California DUI laws in cooperation with the California Highway Patrol, Marin County Sheriff's Department and local police agencies, including the Police Departments of Mill Valley, Novato, San Rafael, and Sausalito. The District Attorney will seek an admission of the prior conviction for drunk driving.
In California, qualifying prior convictions include violations of California Vehicle Code section 23152, 23153, and 23103 within the meaning of 23103.5. If a prior conviction is admitted in a Marin County DUI case, the Judge or Commissioner will impose a sentence which includes actual jail time in the Marin County Jail.
The California Department of Motor Vehic
les will attempt to impose a one (1) year license suspension for every
second offense Marin County drunk driving arrest. There is the possibility
of a Restricted Driver's License after ninety (90) days of actual suspension
in certain circumstances if an ignition interlock device (IID) is installed
in every car driven by the person convicted of a second offense DUI in
a criminal case or who is determined to have driven with a blood alcohol
level of 0.08 percent or greater by the California DMV. A Restricted Driver's
License is only available if proof of enrollment, progress and completion
of an eighteen (18) month California DUI school is submitted to the California
Department of Motor Vehicles and Proof of Insurance (SR-22) is filed with
the DMV every six (6) months for three (3) years.
