Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

Re: transporting alchol

Based on the information you have provided in your question, the answer is unclear. Under a case I refer to a Campanna, once someone is found guilty of a criminal offense any new charges brought on from the same transaction or occurrence are barred under a double jeopardy theory. The problem with your question is whether a "transporting alcohol" summary offense is considered a criminal conviction under Campanna. I think it is. Further, even if they did charge her, as you stated, there was no testing so the district attorney would have a hard time convicting.

Re: transporting alchol

If they tested your daughter's breath/blood properly, they can charge her with DUI, if she admits to driving. Your question does not indicate whether boyfreind was tested for alcohol. More facts would certainly help.
