    Default Do You Get Fines Back if a Case is Dismissed

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: nevada

    putting it quite simple
    yeah, i live in california.
    got dui in nevada A YEAR AGO
    had court
    had to do
    DUI School, victim impact panel and pay the 585 fine.

    I paid the fine in full by my next court date (6 months later [june 20th)]

    i made my way to nevada 5 days early for the victim impact panel, stayed in vegas for 5 more days til my next court date and all in all... a cop came up to me with a slip that said "next court date" in OCTOBER!

    The officer told me im on the calendar but "there is no complaint filed against me yet". Will I get my fine of 585 mailed back to me if my case gets dismissed? WILL my case get dismissed?

    -Derek (PS: Ty)

    It sounds like you entered into a plea bargain for a deferral. When you get a dismissal at the end of a deferred sentence, the fines you pay as part of that sentence are not returned to you.

    $585 would be trivial amount in California as far as fines and costs go. I suspect these aren't a fine but rather non-reimbursable "costs" with regard to your deferral.
