A couple of months ago I was arrested for a DUI. I went to court today because that was the court date written on my ticket. They said they don't have any record of me in their system. The clerk checked with the DA and he said he has no information about me either.

Does it sound like the police forgot to forward my case to the DA and I'm off the hook?

It sounds like you were at the wrong court house.

Edit: And, guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of ATOT, I hope you are done endangering others. What were you thinking?!

I went to the court house listed on the ticket. And any court house in the county should have information on me if it got into the system.

You were. Now that you brought it to their attention, they will probably look until they find it. Then you will be screwed.

probably a troll thread but did they give you any further instructions (i.e. come back on a particular date?)

You're not off the hook. All the paperwork is floating around somewhere, it will be found.

I hope you received documentation that you were there on the assigned date and time.

It means you are in the clear. Have it in writing from them of course.

@ OP... most likely what may have happened is the Officer incorrectly recorded either your name, DL, or License Plate. If you get a fail to appear letter to your house or an arrest warrant issued - it is definately one of the 3 errors I mentioned. It happened to quite a few of my friends.

I got nothing in the mail from the courts or police and nothing from the DMV about suspending my license. I don't want to contact the police because I don't want to raise red flags
