I head that in 1981 a change in California law , which became effective 1/1/1982, made all arrests for DUI a felony and there no longer was such a thing as misdemeanor DUI in California... it this true. Did that happen and/or was that change repealed since.

In California a DUI can be charged as EITHER a midsdemeanor OR a Felony at the discretion of the office who is prosecuting the case.
A basic DUI with no past criminal record will usually be charged as a misdemeanor...
But prior DUI convictions, injuries to pasengers or others, or deaths as well as some other circumstances may elevate the DUI to a felony...

It's a misdemeanor. It becomes a felony if you cause injury to another person (23152 CVC), like from a DUI crash you cause, or upon your 4th DUI conviction (23550 CVC).

California has two basic drunk driving laws, found in Vehicle Code sections 23152(a) and 23152(b):
* 23152(a) It is a misdemeanor to drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
* 23152(b) It is a misdemeanor to drive with .08% or more of alcohol in your blood.

Neither is important.
You will burn in hell at Allah's request for ingesting alcohol.
Convert, kneel before Allah and ask for forgiveness.
You may only get 3 or 4 ugly virgins but at least you'll be in Paradise.
