If you operate a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or intoxicating substance, you will be guilty of an offense – Driving Under the Influence or DUI. The exact constraints differ by state but most states consider someone legally under the influence with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 percent or greater, or anyone that has used any type of illegal substance while driving. If you are a first-time offender, you may end up with a fine, possible jail time or community service with a suspension of your license under the DUI Law. You may be asked to attend, compulsorily an alcohol education program to avoid further such occurrences. In the event that you are a repeat offender, hefty fines and jail time is ensured. Your participation in the alcohol abuse program will also be longer and mandatory; moreover your license will be suspended or revoked and vehicle impounded.
Expungement is the removal of police and court records from public inspection. Your records will not be physically destroyed, but they will be sealed and treated as confidential. To expunge your DUI conviction in simple language means to seal or destroy your conviction records. It is possible to expunge your DUI conviction by law and by inherent judicial authority. In expungement, the court orders the sealing or erasing of the legal record of an arrest or conviction. The record is sealed or erased in the eyes of law. It is like the arrest or conviction never happened.
