Frequently Asked Questions
Dear Mr. Cardon,
I was convicted for Driving Under the Influence (“DUI”) in Virginia Beach recently. The judge imposed a fine of 0, plus court costs, a jail sentence of ninety days suspended, and loss of license for one year. A few weeks after my conviction, I received an invoice from the City of Virginia Beach telling me I own 0 for “DUI Response Reimbursement.” Can you please tell me what this charge is all about? I have already paid a 0 fine plus court costs imposed by the judge. Is this some sort of mistake?
No, the 0 charge is not a mistake. In the Virginia Beach City Counsel has enacted Virginia Beach City Code Section 21-344 which allows the city to be reimbursed for the reasonable expense of “appropriate emergency response, (police fire, emergency medical personnel and equipment used) in connection with a Driving Under the Influence arrest and conviction.” According to the code section, the reimbursement amount cannot exceed one thousand dollars (00). Apparently, in your case, the city has determined that the appropriate emergency response in connection with your DUI was worth 0.
