DUI Probation Violations in California

Upon conviction for driving under the influence, you are placed on probation for three to five years. As a term of your probation you are not to violate any laws, do not drive with a measurable amount of alcohol, and you are ordered to complete a number of sentencing terms (fine, alcohol program, community service, jail, etc). Should you fail to complete one of your sentencing terms or be arrested for a new criminal case then you would be ordered back to court for a probation violation hearing. At your probation violation hearing you would be facing enhanced sentencing terms (increased fine, community service, jail, etc). Any time you violate probation you can be sentenced to the maximum punishment which on a first offense misdemeanor DUI is 6 months in custody. On a multiple offense DUI within a ten year period the maximum punishment is one year in custody.
