Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania
Hello. I am not sure what I can do, but I am under a dui suspension. The problem I am having is that my girlfriends father was driving my car (we look quite similar), and was seen driving (not pulled over, just seen) and I recently received a mandatory 60 day sentance, fines, and an additional year on my suspension... There is no proof whatsoever other than the officers statement. So I am curious as to how they are able to charge me without anything but a few words... I ended up pleading guilty a few days ago because the cop and judge were threatening my girlfriend with charges if she testifies that I was not driving. Now, have 30 days to appeal the case and am looking at my options if I would be able to or not. Thank you for your response in advance.

I would try and do the appeal. But, it might be difficult because you plead. I would also see if I could get your girls dad to testify at the appeal.
