Re: dmv
The criminal and DMV proceedings are essentially unrelated. Your plea of "guilty" to the criminal charges would have no effect upon your administrative hearing: if the urinalysis results are kept out, the DMV hearing officer will have to reinstate your license as there will be no evidence of blood-alcohol concentration over .08%. Conversely, however, the fact that the urinanlysis is thrown out has no effect on the criminal case, even if it were still active: they could still prosecute you since the admissibility of the urinalysis would be independently determined by the court.
