Legal Question in DUI Law in California

License

If a person is charged with DUI and has never had a drivers license, is the person subject to jurisdiction? No license = no contract. Who/what is the injured party?

Nice try, but no.

You will still be charged with DUI, since you will have violated a California statute, license or not.

Re: License

Yeah, nice try, no brass ring. This isn't a contract case, it is a crime as defined in statute, with or without a license. You will not get anywhere with that 'defense'. Deal with it properly, or suffer the consequences. Plus, you're going to be hit with charges for driving without license and insurance as well. If you get serious about obtaining legal help, feel free to contact me.

Re: License

Sorry, California DMV takes action against your ability to drive until you comply with the laws of this state. Until you fulfill the requirements to have your ability to drive reinstated. If the DMV takes action against your D.L.then your driving ability may be hampered in other states as well. You should talk to an attornet in or near your area to discuss your case. David Wallin

Re: License

No license can be taken away if that is what you are referring to. However, that does not stop California with charging you with a criminal count of driving under the influence.

If this happened to you, I suggest hiring an attorney, and stop trying to be creative to "thwart" the police.
