Legal Question in DUI Law in South Carolina
got a dui in one state but live in another
I have a court date set on a DUI charge that I received in South Carolina. I was just visiting SC, I actually live in NC. I have been told that by pleading ''no contest'' to the charge my NC liscence may not be affected at all, could this be accurate information? Also, SC has the videotape law, and on the paperwork that the officer filled out in reference to wether or not the test was being videotaped he marked ''no'' that the test ''was not being videotaped''. That was evidentally done by mistake because it in fact was taped. Could that error on his part be enough to either have the case dismissed, or at least make that evidence inadmisable??? Thanks!

They won't dismiss it or suppress the evidence based on that mistake. However, my understanding is that NC does not recognize a SC No Contest plea. Double check that information with a NC lawyer and possibly your DMV. I only practice in SC and do not know that NC laws. Good luck.
