Reader’s Question:

What happens when you are already on supervision for a DUI and obtained a speeding ticket in Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh, PA

You will probably want to get legal advice to check if this goes against the conditions of your supervision. If you fail to comply with each and every one of the conditions of your supervision, the State’s lawyer will file a Petition to Revoke.This would ask the court to take back the sentence and to may re-sentence you to a harsher sentence. This means that you will then receive a conviction on your record or more, such as higher fines, increased public service work or jail time. Additionally, any accompanying charges that were dismissed as part of a plea agreement could be re-filed against you.

This is really complicated, so I suggest that you seek legal advice in Pittsburgh PA.

The law requires an individual to refrain from committing any further offenses while on supervision.

Additional conditions may include the payment of costs and fines, treatment for drug and/or alcohol addiction, counseling, and whatever else may seem appropriate and performance of public service work.
