What happens if you get a DUI:

The booking procedure

If you are arrested for DUI, the police officer may issue you a ticket and release you with a court date.  In the alternative, the police officer may take you into custody for booking at a police station.  At the police station, the officer may complete any required paperwork or tests.  Upon completion, you will be turned over to the jail for processing.  During processing, officers will gather demographic information, fingerprints and photographs. 

Depending on the severity of your charges, you may or may not be released after you have been processed.  You may be required to appear in front of a judge before bail is set or you are able to be released.  If you are not eligible for immediate release, your personal property and clothing will be placed in storage.  You will be issued clothing, bedding and assigned a cell to await your court appearance.
