Out-of-State DUI Consequences
Many states will share information regarding traffic and criminal convictions with other state authorities. Just because you do not live in Rhode Island does not mean that DUI charges made in Rhode Island will not follow you back to your home state. In most cases, your home state will handle the DUI as if it occurred in that state. In the event of a DUI conviction, you could face the following penalties:
- Fines
- License suspension or revocation
- Jail time
- Probation
- Enrollment in an alcohol-education class
All of these consequences can have potentially devastating effects on your personal and professional life, so it is important that you do everything you can to fight a DUI charge.
