I have been doing the whole sarge thing lately in both Oakland and San Francisco and wanted to offer you guys a little warning to be careful of the lifestyle in the aspect of drinking while driving, as nobody needs to get  a DUI, regardless of where you are. It is just really not worth it. The reason I say all of this is because my friend did it just last week and was pulled over and the rest is history.Now he has to go out and find an Oakland or San Francisco DUI lawyer or even a criminal defense attorney depending on how the charges pan out and believe me he is not loving life right now. He is going to fight this in court but it is going to cost hime a lot of money because a DUI or criminal defense type lawyer does not come cheap, especially in the San Francisco area, or anywhere in the state for that matter. I know a lot of you guys on this forum take cabs and all of that or walk and that is great but for those very few of you who sometimes take the chance to drink and drive I recommend that you do not risk it because a DUI can basically ruin your life, sad to say. If this lawyer does not succeed he is looking at jail time, probation and no driving privelages for a very long time. Plus, his insurance rates will go throught the roof for the foreseeable future.. Listen guys there are just too many roadblocks out there these days and besides that the police are highly trained to detect any DUI type behavior. You would be surpised all the signals that they can detect, they are very good. Plus you could get yourself or someone else killed to boot. Sorry for the lecture but I had to get this out there for you dudes so you do not fall into the same pitfall as my buddy did. Get a designated driver or better yet just take a cab or walk or something..

It doesn't ruin your life lol.  I just got one, it was my 1000th post. 

600$ fine and costs of temp license / interlock ignition + a 48 hour class. 

insurance went up 20 bux every 6 months...

i decided against the 7000$ lawyer to take it to trial.  Fuck that. 

and im in a state with mandatory minimum sentencing for first time offenders.


but yeah, its not fun...

doin it without a lawyer and standing in front of the judge was almost as scary as approaching turbos.
