Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Public Intoxication
I have been detained for public intoxication three times now. The first two times I was just detained overnight and released in the morning without being charged with anything. However, this third time requires me to appear in court and I am being charged with public intoxication. Will those first two times being in the drunk tank without being charged effect what my punishment will be in court?

Re: Public Intoxication
Prior detentions without citations should not be part of your record and should not affect your current case. However, I would just add that in these increasingly repressive times you just never know for sure . . .
