QUESTION
Is a wet and reckless charge the same with DUI charge?
Asked on Apr 02nd, 2013 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
I plead guilty to a wet and reckless charge in California. I’m nervous because I applied for low income place in Las Vegas and they don’t take people with driving under the influence charges. Is that the same thing?

It depends on the definition of driving under the influence. A DUI reduced to a "wet" reckless means that you are admitting to reckless driving involving alcohol, this may or may not fit the definition used by the Las Vegas low income requirements.

It is for the DMV and insurance companies.? I have no idea what a NV lessor would think.

Is that the same thing? Yes, for almost all purposes. But, I have no info on how that particular out of state agency or housing will view it. Ask an attorney in that state.

It is a related charge, not exactly the same as a dui but can be used as a prior dui if you are arrested again for a dui.

It is not a formal DUI. It is a less important crime.
