What is going to happen to me? “]<\/p>\n

You will be taken to the local county jail which may be a distance from the Interstate. There is a bond schedule which the jail has indicating what the bond is and the jail will also have a list of bondsmen you can call. If you are unable to make bond, normally there will be an initial appearance in front of a magistrate the next morning where you can ask for a bond amount that you can make. In addition to arresting you, the officers may very well seize you phone and all your money the effect of which is to make it as difficult as possible for you to be released from jail and to find your way home wherever that may be. There will be a series of court appearances required unless you have an attorney to appear for you.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How do I prevent drunk driving charges?”]<\/p>\n

The best way to avoid drunk driving charges is not to drive while intoxicated. Unfortunately you do not have to be drunk or under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to be arrested for OWI\/DUI. Any measurable quantity of an illegal drug in your system is considered an OWI\/DUI in Iowa. Any combination of alcohol and a legally prescribe medication taken against doctor\u2019s orders which causes impairment will also result in criminal charges being filed. If your license is more important to you than a conviction give a breath sample or urine sample, whatever is requested. If beating the charge is more important, do not give either a breath sample or a urine sample.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Will I go to jail for too many speeding tickets?”]<\/p>\n

No you will not go to jail for too many speeding tickets, but you will go to jail if the number of speeding tickets you have cause you to loose your license and then you will go to jail for driving while your license is suspended, revoked, or barred.<\/p>\n
