When convicted of a DUI in a county you do not live in, do you still have to perform community service in the county that you offended?
This is in North Carolina.

In CA, they transfer your service, to make it easier on you.
Just tell them that you have a full time job and no free time, making it impossible for you to travel.
But then again, I don't know how North Carolina is. Good Luck.

That is all up to the district attorney and judge. There has to be a way that you could perform some kind of service for the state in general within your own county. That is something you, or your lawyer, will need to ask the district attorney. Good luck.

penitentiary should not be on the table for DUI's the place no accident or dying became in contact. it would without delay be substance abuse scientific care, hundreds of hours of community service and fines. there is not any element in pointing somebody in penitentiary for a stupid mistake and/or a substance abuse issue.

why did you ask the same question twice? if you are from a different country-they issue a warrant in the US-when you come into the country again-you will be arrested for failure to appear in court.

Just quit drinking and driving. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Do your community service and shut up about it!
