Second Offense MIP

**air50** · 02-06-2012, 06:20 PM

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California.
So I got a misdemeanor MIP two years ago and got it brought down to an infraction, didnt loose my license, and just did community service and paid about $100. Now stupid me got caught again and I'm 20. Now I want to know is this a 2nd offense or is it my first one because I got the other one reduced? Should I hire a lawyer again? Also will the court know about the last one and is it possible to just end up like the first one? Im going to a christian college in august to be a engineer will that help my situation greatly? I could care less about the ticket/fine I just still want to be able to drive and go to school there....
Thanks

This is still your second offense. A lawyer is not a bad idea. Yes, the court will know about the last one. It is possible it will end up like the first one, but don’t count on it. No, court will not care what college you are planning to attend or what your major is.

How do you think the college will take it?

Went to court today and the ticket has not been filed yet. Is this somewhat of a good thing or are they just being lazy about my ticket? Is there a chance it'll never get filed and dismissed? and is that usually a year after?

I like how nobody replies but for future people looking at this situation, the ticket got filed and i have court in a month so ill post back what happens after

Nobody replied because any answer from anyone other than the court itself would be nothing more than a WAG (wild a$$ guess).

I read somewhere that the judge can't drop the license suspension. Just got my first MIP (infraction) with a clean record and I'm worried that I'm gonna get my license suspended. Will this citation stay on my record? I heard you can pay for some program and the suspension will be dropped and nothing will go on your record.
