Plea Deal In Cape Cod OUI Cases

Generally speaking, the basic plea in an OUI case provides for a term of probation, followed by a dismissal after an admission of guilt. While it is always best to fight your case, understandably, some individuals do not want to spend the time or put any additional effort into their case but rather, want to put it behind them as quickly as possible.

It is important to note that even if you do take a plea deal in order to wrap your case up, the case is far from over. You will likely agree to a probationary period, educational programs, and you will still deal with a suspended license and fines. After you meet all of your probationary requirements your case may end in dismissal and it will be vitally important not to draw any additional attention from law enforcement.

Suspended License

When you arrested for an OUI on Cape Cod, you are dealing with two separate systems. On the one hand, you will be going through the criminal court process and on another hand, you will be dealing with administrative proceedings with the RMV.  You will face fines and penalties from both. The criminal court may impose fees, fines, and jail time, and the RMV can revoke or suspend your license as well as impose additional fines.
