Arizona Driving on Suspended License Penalty

Today I'm going to talk about the Temporary Driving Permit people are issued when they get a DU. We get this question quite a bit. People get pulled over many times and they'll do a breath test that comes up above an .08, or they'll refuse to do breath or blood test and then there's a warrant and their blood gets drawn and the officer gives a pink and yellow piece a paper called Admin per Se/Administrator per Se Implied Consent Affidavit and its pink there's usually a yellow copy behind it.





Now if you're handed one of these you have 15 days from the date your cited in order to request a hearing, otherwise going to lose your license either for 90 days or year depending if you're a refusal or above an .08. Now what happens is people come in, and they'll higher us we request a hearing for them, there's a second piece of paper, a yellow piece a paper, that looks exactly the same but on the back it says temporary driver's permit. That we fold up, give back to the client and they keep that with them. Now that piece of paper, once the hearing has been requested, that is a driver's license.

It usually takes two to three months before the hearing is actually set, and the hearing is another month after that. So for the next three to four months, that yellow peice of paper is a person's license. If you're stopped by the police you simply show it to them, and say my lawyer requested a hearing. If the officer still writes you a ticket for driving on a suspended license, because they don't understand the 15-day, and the request rule, no problem bring it to us and we'll get rid of it, we'll get it dismissed.

Now here's where it gets tricky, if your blood is drawn and they simply release you, maybe give you ticket to be in court and they don't give you that pink and yellow piece a paper, that's because they're waiting to see if your blood results come back above the legal limit. Now when they do come back the prosecutor's office sends something to to the DMV and the DMV will send you a corrective action notice, and they'll mail it to you, it says "your license is going to be suspended in 15 days unless you request a hearing."

People freak out when they get these, we always tell them relax you simply tell us about it and we'll request the hearing for you and then once again you're still legal to drive for two to three months after that. The only difference is you won't have that yellow piece a paper with you anymore. Again if you run into a problem you simply tell them that we represent you and refer them over to us. Basically anytime you get anything in the mail regarding Motor Vehicle Division with a state they're gonna suspend you, your best course of action is to call a lawyer.

Beat the Heat at Arizona State University

How hot is it here in the summer? Here it's really hot, but at least it is dry, so it is not very like, it doesn't feel really bad. I'm from South Korea, and in Korea in the summer it is really humid. I hate it so that's why I came here. So our summer is actually pleasant! This is good to know. Alright, this makes me feel better about how hot I feel right now. It's only going to be hot for the first couple months and the semester. It definitely cools down close to the end of September, maybe middle of October and the rest of the year it is perfect.

What kind of tips do you have for students that are coming to ASU this fall? It's tough. It's really hot I stay indoors as much as possible. I keep my shades on whenever possible. How to beat the heat? Drink plenty of water. Whether you use disposable water bottles, reusable water bottles, or even a handy water bottle backpack whatever you do make sure you're drinking plenty of water every day. I recommend swimming a lot. It's a great exercise and the water is nice right now. So, I am at the information desk.

How do you beat the heat at Arizona State University? There's multiple ways. Wear loose fitting clothing because tight fitting clothes can be kind of stuffy in class. Wear Sunglasses. You can wear hats. Carry an umbrella to shield yourself from the heat in the shade. SPF 30. I'm Casey Thomas and I hope these tips have helped you to learn how to beat the heat.

College of Engineering, University of Arizona

My name is Jeff Goldberg. I am the dean of Engineering. Welcome to the U of A. If you want to help people, then engineering is the career for you. Every key societal problem across the planet, has an engineering component. When you come to the University of Arizona, there is a real advantage to be able to be with the strongest set of students, the strongest research faculty and teaching faculty, and an incredibly hardworking staff, that are here to guarantee your success, and to help you do the kind of things you want to do. Our students, academically, are as good as any on the planet.


We take our undergraduate mission extremely seriously, and that means our full professors are in the classroom. We have tenure track faculty teaching our freshmen, our sophomores, our juniors, and our seniors. Our faculty are engaged in undergraduate education. Our faculty engage in the research mission. We do everything in our power to get students engaged in that as well. You're interested in engineering, but you don't really know the major. Relax. We try to bring every student in the college in as engineering, no major selected. You can spend the entire first year trying to figure out what you're interested in.

I think what really what really makes the University of Arizona special for undergraduate students is the way our faculty are involved, and we are going to work our butts off to make sure that you're learning, that you're well connected, that you've got some ideas of what you can do when you're done, and, all around, have an experience here that will help you grow as a person, as well as grow as a professional. So, when you come here we're going to help you make those steps, sometimes they may be small at the beginning, but in the end they are going to be incredibly large. And you are going to be successful, and get to the place you would like to be when you are going to graduate here. I am Jeff Goldberg. I am the dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona.

College - Planning - Landscape Architecture, University of Arizona

More people live in cities than ever before, the population is going to continue to grow. Where are those people going to live, work, and play? Our professions will help answer those questions, in a way we can all live a prosperous sustainable life. I am very proud of our students. So, they're working in context with real clients, real projects, real problems, they see real results by the time they graduate.


They have impact from the day they walk in. So, they are inventors. They're researchers, they're scholars in that respect, that brings them that ability to have the confidence when they go out in the workplace to really know the craft. We really focus on skills and skill development. I tell all students and parents today, 'Now is the time to enter,' because not only are there going to be a great number of job opportunities, you're going to be able to enter into firms and move into a wider area of work, of subject matter, and area of responsibility.

You'll build your resume much more quickly than ever before. We have world-renounced faculty in their area of expertise. We have the best materials laboratory in the United States, bar none. So, our students are working with some of the top researchers in the country, one-on-one in studios. Choosing a major is a very hard decision. And, what I think, is really essential for the future of any young architect, and landscape architect, is to think of themselves as an inventor. We're problem solvers, but we're creative problem solvers. I'm Jan Cervelli. I am the dean of the College of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture. Be part of the U of A!

Handwashing, Arizona Medical Training Institute, AMTI

All right we're going to demonstrate how to wash your hands the first thing you want to do is get your paper towels prepared you are going to wand ti and have it ready. I'm going to turn on the water to a comfortable temperature and a safe speed. Don't want to fill the sink too high. Get our hands really, really wet. We want to be able to create a good lather. I am going to get my soap. Now I am going to start washing my hands with pointing my hands downward.


We want to go from the cleanest to the dirtiest. Our wrist is the cleanest and our fingertips are the dirtiest. So we are going to get a good lather. We are going to clean the back of our hands. Going to clean my fingernails. If you have rings please be able to get underneath those rings because the harbor bacteria. And we are going to do this for 15 to 20 seconds you can sing "Happy Birthday" twice, do your ABC's, or just count.

ok, once I have done that I am going to rinse my hands pointing downward making sure I do not touch the sink or the faucet If at any time I do accidentally touch the sink or faucet please let the attendant know that you are going to start over again If you are caring for somebody you will want to start over again because you would have contaminated yourself. So you will go through the whole process again.

We are not going to flick. Just let our hands drip a minute. And then take our paper towel, and dry our hands. If i got a very small paper towel we are going to get a longer one. You want your hands completely dry. For this process Wetness will whip through bacteria. So we want to make sure our hands are dry before we turn off our faucet. Now with a completely separate paper towel I am going to turn off my faucet. And with the same paper towel I am going to turn off my light and throw the paper towel away.

What to do if pulled over for DUI? Arizona Criminal Lawyer

Hi i'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor and welcome to Arizona Criminal Law TV. What i'm going to talk to you about today is what to do if your stopped for a DUI, I get asked this question all the time. If an officer stops you and says sir have you been drinking the answer you're going to give is the same answer you'd give to sir did you rob a bank or sir did you kill ten people you're going to say i'm not going to answer any questions or do any tests until I talk to my lawyer. Now by saying that you didn't lie and you didn't confess. You said let me talk to my lawyer.


Now if the officer gets you out and says let me look at your eyes, follow the light, follow the pen, you say stop am I free to go officer because if i'm not then I want to talk to my lawyer don't do any field sobriety test don't do the eye test don't answer questions just simply say I wish to talk to my lawyer. Now if he says i'm going to have to arrest you because I smell alcohol, he was going to arrest you anyway.

You say whatever but i need to talk to my lawyer he'll take you down to the station you call preferably us and we'll talk to you then i'll ask you for sample your blood. In Arizona if you don't provide the sample you lose your license for a year and on top of that, they'll get a warrant and they'll draw your blood forcibly if they have to so we normally say on a first offense go ahead and give that blood sample and then ask to be released to go to the hospital and get an independent blood test. Normally they'll cut loose you get into a cab and you can go get that test if you wish.

In essence the officer can now say I saw him weve once I pulled him over he smelled of alcohol he gave me a blood sample and I released him. That's all the officer will be able to tell a jury can't comment on your right to remain silent because that's your fifth amendment right so it limits their evidence down to just whatever the chemical test is keep in mind it's always better to reduce the evidence that you're giving them because they will say I saw x, Y and Z and they will tend to stretch what they saw or exaggerate and that's always a problem so if you simply say, nope I wish to talk to my lawyer it greatly reduces what they can claim that you did that night

Excellence At Arizona State University

The best college experience is the one that you're excited about, and there's a lot here so explore the possibilities. But which ever path you take, you'll be at a top ranked university. With faculty who bring real world experience and forward thinking to the classroom.


While I've been at ASU, I would say that I've really met some of the most interesting people that I've met in my life, and many of those people have been professors. We have some of the world's leading scholars. There are people here that specialize in whatever it is you are interested in. It is definitely an advantage of having a larger university with a large faculty.

I have had teachers that really take the time to get to know me and are looking out for my success which I didn't think I would get at such a big school. I don't call them students, I call them 'junior colleagues.' Everything's fun, just the things they come up with. The new people are not locked in the old ways of thinking. Some of the things we, at ASU, developed helped the rest of the world! The future belongs to the innovative and creative.

The best way to learn that is to practice it, that means that our students have the opportunity to participate in undergraduate research, work on projects for companies. We create new degree programs that are interdisciplinary. I feel like I have incredible opportunity to innovate here. What we're about is designing the solutions to the problems that we are confronting today, and there isn't any kind of problem that you can conceptualize that you can't learn to solve here.

I think one of the things that sets us apart from a lot of other universities is that we're not static, we don't come here and learn something that was taught 20 years ago, we come here and learn where the edges of disciplines are. We were asked to create a brand new medical device that answers a question that researchers in the medical field are asking, and make a device that is now becoming a business.

When I tell people about it, they're like "Well, you're not master students and you probably won't get very far." That's not what our professors say because they back us up. We are a research institution which means that the faculty you have, whatever campus you're on, our faculty that are nationally and internationally known, and are on the cusp of the research they are doing. My goal is to interact with students in everything that I do. Students are bright, have ideas, enthusiasm, and energy, and make things happen.

To be treated like another researcher is wonderful, because you're not just sitting and cleaning dishes, you're getting to do more. You're getting to use your creative thinking to make a difference. I was able to go down to Mexico to do archaeological research for a summer and then continue that into a research project for the next year that I have loved working on.

To be able to go to another country and do paid research as an undergraduate is amazing. I have very few friends anywhere in the country who are doing something that incredible. So I'm sitting here at the bio-design institute here at ASU. It's a cutting-edge, world-class facility where biological research is conducted, and as an undergraduate, I've had the privilege of being able to work here. It really is beyond anything I ever could've ever imagined.

We have a lot of industry sponsoring and that's just phenomenal for people who want that hands-on experience. We have deep engagement with industry here and that's often difficult to do. They're actually working on developing real solutions and they're doing that with mentorship from the companies, and then often, that leads directly to job offers. It's been very critical for us to establish a long term relationship with Arizona State. It's a win-win for both Intel and the university.

In-fact, Intel hires more graduates out of ASU than any other university, and this is going across multiple disciplines. That's our focus, learn to innovate, and innovate to learn. I have an internship with the Arizona Senate in the research department. I could of never imagined that I would secure an internship of this magnitude at such a young age. It's unreal that undergraduates are doing the things that they are doing here.

Arizona High School Girls Spell Out N-Word for Picture Day

High school's rough for lots of reasons, trying to cope with puberty, the looming specter of college, and, of course, letting the whole world know that you might be a low-key racist. That last is a reference to a group of students on senior picture day at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Arizona.


That's right, a group of high school girls thought it would be totes abdorbz for their squad to spell out the most famous racial slur they could think of during picture day. The photo shows six smiling girls standing arm-in-arm wearing black shirts with letters written on them in gold tape. You don't need to be aWheel of Fortune wizard to figure out what they were trying to spell.

Naturally, the painfully tone deaf girls went viral forcing the school to distance itself from the photo, releasing a statement saying "That was not a school photo. That was taken off to the side somewhere and I don’t know who took it or who posted it. We found out about it when everyone else did, when it popped up on social media." Sadly, this isn't the first time that high school or college students thought it would be just hysterical to slur their way through way higher education, and I can guarantee you it wont' be the last.
