Nebraska Supreme Court addresses out-of-state DUI convictions used to enhance penalties

Police are very aggressive when on patrol for drunk drivers. If an officer observes a moving violation by a motorist, he or she may decide to stop the driver and look for signs of impairment. If the driver fails field sobriety tests, the officer may then make an arrest. While the consequences of a conviction are severe even for a first-offense DUI, they increase dramatically for repeat DUI offenders. A second-offense may bring jail time, which increases with subsequent convictions. A fourth-offense may be charged as a felony, which can bring 180 days to one year behind ...

Things to Consider Before Buying A Business
