Interview Transcript
Scott Michael Dunn: And what happens if you get a DUI in another state? To be more specific, outside of your home state?
Chris Combs: It depends on which state. However, whether you like it or not, with technology these days most states can see. If we’re fighting a case on the license side, they’re gonna want to see, “Please get me their California driving record,” or if there’s any inclination that they had [a DWI/DUI] there. Sometimes they go unnoticed.
But if you have one from another state, sometimes it is applicable, sometimes it’s not. That’s the short answer. If you wanted a lengthier answer on that, you could go to our site for more information. We have downloadable ebooks and things like that.
It depends on [the] state. Missouri and Illinois, for instance, have the Interstate Compact Act. They report to each other. But if you’re talking Montana, Missouri, very different.
