Can a repeat dui offender just move to another state?

I like the last two tags you gave this question. He has a serious problem if he’d rather move states than stop drinking and driving! OMG.

He is in for a rude surprise. Ask our local policeman, @John_Pennington.

I’m pretty sure he’s mistaken and there’s a clause about fraud and deception in the regulations for acquiring a driving license. “Pose as someone who has never learned to drive yet” is the part they’re likely to have a problem with.

Also, “are not part of the pact”? It certainly sounds like he’s done his research. ~

Normally a dui or driving while revoked are illegal but won’t leave you with a felony charge usually. Most instances a person only has a misdemeanor.

However, in one case similar to this that I knew of, someone WAS charged with a felony for something similar. When they find out, he will probably be charged with a felony rather than a misdemeanor. Felony charges haunt you the rest of your life and are much worse than misdemeanors. The guy I know can’t even get a job now because of his felony record. Oh yes and he did time.

It will catch up with him. It is not worth it in my opinion. It would be better to take the punishment than to escalate to a felony. That’s pretty dumb.

There is a federal database and most states have a reciprocal agreement.

I wont give your drunks licenses if you dont give my drunks permission.

Drunk driving is dangerous. I know. I almost killed myself.

You can move anywhere you please in the United States and your dui record will follow you.

Its called computers.

Record will follow you.

Some states have antiquated computer systems, and some states computer systems are so mismanaged, no one knows how to use them, and in California, the state employees are so disgruntled, anything goes.

I had a neighbor who claimed they were moving to Alaska because of her husband’s dui’s causing him to lose his job, but I never heard if it did any good.

True on the disgruntled LA employees. When I moved here I went to the DMV and brought my birth certificate as a second form of ID. The lady said, ” Uh, I can’t take this because it’s laminated so it’s invalid.” (My mom laminated it when I was a kid, I DON’T know why)

So the lady next to her goes, “You know what, if they want to cut my hours I’ll take your laminated birth certificate. Come here sweety.” So she did it for me!

Nope. At least in most states. The Driver’s License Compact (DLC) and Nonresident Violator Compact (NRVC) are two interstate agreements that attempt to open communication channels between member states in order to share information regarding driver’s license suspensions, moving violations, and other offenses. This article talks more about the two laws and which states use them. But things have been fairly revolutionized as far as tracking such things.
