Drink Driving & Police Assault

[aine07]

Hi

If charged with Drink driving and 2 Police Assaults what kind of sentence/fine/community service etc is likely to be handed out by the Court?
the person already has previous driving convictions including driving whilst disqualified, was 1 and 1/2 times over the limit but no previous violence record. ( live in Scotland so dont know if the law will be significantly different !! )
had so many conflicting views so far... :-(

thanks

Forty years at least and a prisoner exchange to Libya,

[ummmm]

How many previous driving convictions?

My mate was sent to prison on his 3rd conviction.

[ummmm]

For 7 weeks.

According to this:

"Assault of a police officer is punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment,"

at least one previous ban - for drink driving and then a further ban for driving while disqualified and no insurance... I expect thatll be a 5 year ban this time but not sure about the police assaults !! and one of the assaults was on a female :(

thanks megaman
the D/D seems pretty clear cut but add the assaults on top and its a whole different ball game..:(

[ummmm]

Because it was judgemental and unhelpful.

No more than six months, Eddie (four if early guilty pleas are entered). Assault PC and Excess alcohol are both (summary) offences (at least in England and Wales they are. I believe this is true also in Scotland). As such they can only attract a maximum of six months concurrently.
