The Social Stigma of a DUI
Although courts do not look favorably upon a DUI conviction, many times the harshest critics are friends, family and co-workers. Let’s face it, a DUI conviction has a certain level of shame attached to it.
- Professionally
- DUI convictions require extensive time in courtroom, treatment and screenings. With courthouses and treatment facilities operating on a 9-5 schedule it is highly likely you will miss some time from work to meet court appointed requirements.
- Missing work for DUI business will only fan the gossip flames at work. If you are in a position of authority and are expected to operate from a high set of morals a DUI could be disastrous to your career. Although you may have never had a drink on the clock you could be suspected of it.
- Any future job search could be compromised as many employers perform background checks on potential employees. You may be eliminated from the pool of candidates before you have the opportunity to demonstrate your competence.
- Social Engagements
- With the news of your DUI out it is possible that the organizations you volunteer with will find out. If the organization you volunteer with offers advice or guidance it is possible they could ask you to step down as they attempt to distance themselves from the negativity associated with a DUI conviction.
- Personal Relationships
- A DUI charge could create trust issues within your relationships, along with additional emotional and financial stress. A DUI could also have your children question your authority.
