New Law Increases DUI Penalties in Lincoln
Nebraska DUI penalties are among the toughest in the nation. Those laws became tougher in January of this year when the state made DUI child endangerment a separate crime. In the past, people who were arrested for drunk driving with a child in the car were charged with DUI and child neglect, both misdemeanors as long as the DUI was a first offense. DUI child endangerment is a felony.
Felony charges contain the possibility for significant fines and jail time. As a convicted felon, you would also lose the right to vote and possess firearms or ammunition. Many employers would not hire someone who is a convicted felon.
