Its so crazy that two beers and I am over the legal limit....... 2 beers..... thats it. Not even anywhere NEAR drunk yet would get a DUI... so scarey

 

I happened to have my digital camera with me... when i was looking at the traffic lights after the accident, i noticed that even when they turn RED on me... it is NOT HER GREEN yet... so i recorded it and i have it with me... (http://www.venetubo.com/v/337) in the video you can see the light on green at the begining, and then when it turns RED i focus the camera on HER traffic lights... it shows RED yet... i recorded the same sequence 3 times.... when i tried to explain that to the police officer, she said that lights work by sensors, so i can't just say that after my light is RED her light was RED too because it is not always like that... so i could not do anything about this.... i know i ran the light on GREEN... not even yellow, but GREEN. Im 100% sure she was distracted talking with her family or her son whoever it was and she just ran the light without noticing... in my case i was alone going back to Dominos after making a delivery, i was not talking on the phone or anything like that....

 

You do not have to disclose arrests which do not end in a conviction or an adjudication of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.

Yes, it is in the records at the FBI (as is everything, forever) but cannot and will not be disclosed except to other law enforcement officers.

Police often arrest people improperly or charge them incorrectly. You are only obliged to report what you have been CONVICTED of, not ACCUSED of. That is the entire premise of our legal system!

 

That's a good thing, there should be a zero tolerance policy. It would deter people from always trying to push the limit.

 

A car accident, even if he's at fault, won't hurt him 1/10 of 1%. The kid is having a rough day and you're going to scare him like that? The only thing that would hurt him would be a reckless driving attached, or of course, alcohol.

His Insurance, though, is about to double or triple, so he needs to get this taken care of.

I rear-ended a car that cut me off, other driver was injured...listed as my fault (you can't prove someone cut you off), never questioned in an interview or the interview for my Gov't security clearance for that matter. S-happens out there on the road, everyone knows that.

 

omg

 

"Get an attorney, and file suit against them for everything they have."

Wont help, especially if it is in TN. My wife got in a crash where she got t-boned by someone passing in a no passing zone. Cop wrote her the ticket, totally screwed up the police report...the wrong person driving the other car, wrong airbag deploying, DID NOT PUT DOWN A WITNESS STATEMENT OR CONTACT, didn't even write them a ticket for not having insurance etc. I even took pictures. The dumass judge without a brain of his own threw out the case and told us, "even if someone is driving the wrong way down a 1 way street at night with no lights on and you pull out in front of them and get hit YOU are responsible" What an ass.

 

You make good points, I too feel very fortunate that i didnt hurt anyone or myself. It was only 3 beers, but it was over the limit. My focus of this thread is to say that you CAN change and all is not lost and although its going to be a lot harder for me and others to get hired at a legacy, I am not going to give up.

 

thank you for your positive feedback....

I think i have no way to remove that ticket from me... I just called a lawyer who advertises himself on the phone guide... he pretty much said im screwed up if there are no witnesses... i feel so alone in the world right now... over 2 years working overtime in Dominos to pay for school and my efficiency... damn i wish i could have rich parents so i didn't have to be risking myself that much on the street every day...

Guys im sorry if i sound too dramatic im just trying to drain all this pain/frustration... thank you so much for listening and for your feedback!

 

This is my EXACT same situation, dumb decision and I got out of it by a minor mistake by the arresting officer, but the arrest is there and through a diversion program if I get another DUI (which will DEFINITELY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN) I will then have 2 on my record. Even happened 7 years ago... when I was 17 - stupid kid.

I thank the origional poster for his coming forward and stating that he was indeed able to be successful as a pilot even with this on his record, it really helps me believe I will be able to do the same.

MCLEACH71, I'm going to send you a PM, I'd like to hear about your interview experiences if you are getting ready to start since our situation is very close to being identical.

PS... to the poster that said you did not have to disclose an arrest, I think I'd rather disclose it rather than not tell them, get hired and later get fired from a 121 job and have that on my pilot record... that would make life pretty much impossible...
