I'm going to court for the sentencing on July 19th. Is it possible to have everything (jail sentence, classes, etc.) transferred from Sacramento County to San Francisco? It is my second in 9 years and I had a very high BAC. I have a great job opportunity is the reason for the transfer.

Go to the judge and tell him your problem and he will let you transfer your DUI probation requirements.

This is something that you should talk to your attorney about. It is possible to have your probation, classes, etc. transferred to S.F. However, you will need court approval for that. Your attorney should request this from the judge at your sentencing. It will be up to the judge to decide whether or not he will grant your request. Good luck.

They will let you do the classes in SF but you first have to go to court and plead guilty in Sac. With a second and a high B/A you will probably get some county jail time and that they will not let you do in SF.

You may be able to get your probation transferred, but not until after July 19. Talk to your attorney, there may not even be formal probation to transfer.

It usually isn't a problem transferring from county to county. Talk to your lawyer about this.

Transfer of jail, probation and programs within the state is possible, with the consent of the DA and judge. Try to work it out.

Under Penal Code 1203.9 the court may transfer jurisdiction to the home county once the disciplinary term is served. Many couties also have reciprocity agreements to allow for alternative sentencing in the home county. I recommend consulting with a local attorney.

The classes can be done in another county and you still have to show proof in the original court as to your progress with classes community service and/or payments.

You can't transfer a criminal case from one county to another. But it is possible to transfer probation between counties if they have a reciprocity agreement. Inquire with your probation officer.
