Penal Code Section 1000 (PC 1000) in Orange County
Penal Code Section 1000 allows tremendous relief from certain limited drug and alcohol offenses. The policy in California is that certain drug offenses and alcohol offenders should not serve jail time. The theory is that treatment is appropriate, not punishment. A person charged with one of these offenses must enter a guilty plea that the court does not enter as a judgment of conviction. After the completion of a 12 week class, 18 months of arrest-free behavior, and a payment of a small fee for court costs, the court enters a judgment of dismissal .
In our experience, many defendants don’t take proper advantage of PC 1000. One must be absolutely committed to remaining drug-free during the course, and for the remaining period until the court dismisses the case. Beware, the policy to keep drug offenders out of jail doesn’t mean repeat offenders, or drug dealers will remain free from custody.
Call us today to determine if you qualify for PC 1000 from your drug offense or alcohol offense in Orange County.
