Reckless operation is a reduction offer that is often given in a DUI case. It is a fourth degree misdemeanor. It carries four points on your license but it is not an Ovi. The offense of reckless operation has certain advantages to it over an Ovi. What we will often do is give me the option of contrasting an Ovi with the reckless operation versus a physical control or other reduction offers. Once we get that offer it's up to you to decide what you want to do with your case. We'll walk you through it. We'll give you all of the different ramifications of what your choices are and we'll help you decide.

If you were arrested for Ovi and you're a member of the United States military, specifically if you're at Wright-patterson Air Force Base either as an enlisted or as a civilian employee, you face some ramifications that not a lot of other people do. You face internal ramifications, internal discipline, and if you are listed as a soldier you may face ramifications in both places. We will help you through that. We will work with the area defense counsel and work with the prosecuting attorney. We will protect you by making sure that your military career is saved. If we represent you our goal is to get you into a position where you don't have a DUI offense that will prevent you from being deployed or prevent you from being promoted.

People often ask us why we give out the location of checkpoints and the first answer is it's law. The United States Supreme Court decided that if these checkpoints are going to be allowed to exist they have to exist for a deterrent effect and what that means is the police are required to give the location beforehand. The police are required to put everybody on notice that the location of these checkpoints will be at a certain point. We want to help the police in that effect. We want to give the location and if you TEXT “DAYTONDUI” TO 313131 or visit https://daytondui.com/checkpoint-alerts/ you will get a text alert from us telling you where those checkpoints are. We want to tell you where they are so that you can plan ahead think ahead. If you ever sat in my seat you would see that a lot of the DUI's were caused by people who just didn't plan ahead. Who found themselves in a position where they had no other option but to drive in their opinion. You don't need to do that if you plan ahead you can avoid a DUI situation and we try to help the police give you enough to make sure you don't find yourself in that position.
