I wonder what is going to happen to him since he's a Canadian citizen with a US green card.

If you get a DWI in the US that's grounds for not being admitted into Canada since DWI is a felony in Canada.

(blowing over "the legal limit" only creates a legal presumption. he could easily be acquitted if he doesnt look drunk on video.)

Not sure if the distinction matters but the player is being charged with a DUI, not DWI.

Florida may have a separate "driving with an elevated BAC" charge, but for DUI/DWI it's just a presumption, "prima facie evidence."

that's good evidence, but not conclusive. i've seen worse- he didn't cause a wreck, only drove like an idiot. how people look and sound on video is often a determining factor for American juries in these cases.

DUI cases generally don't go to trial/jury unless the defendant really thinks they're innocent or if there's some sort of third party involved(accident/property damage/injury).

I've seen a couple DUI cases, and it usually hinges on whether the breathalyzer was functioning and inspected properly, or if you have an explanation why there would be a false reading. Saying you weren't even that drunk doesn't really do much.

My cousin got his thrown out because the prosecution lost the paperwork. Helps that his lawyer was head of the local republican party and handpicked the judge on the case. Shady as poo poo, but hey this America

Right, but I was referring to what you were saying about DWI being a felony in Canada and thus our friend Cyle might not be able to go back. DUI treated the same in that case or differently?

Only one idiot thought that was the case.

I was just stating the fact that Canada can deny you entry to the country if you have a DUI conviction in the US.

My curiosity was based on the fact that he's a Canadian national who got a DUI in the US and how that could impact him when he's back in Canada.

Its the other way around. Canada wont have a problem, its the Americans who might have issue with readmitting him given he's not a national. However given the status of his work visa...ehhbh doubtful

If you are a Canadian citizen you are allowed to enter Canada no matter what, period, end of story. That's how citizenship works. On the other hand as stab points out, if found guilty the US (and every other country) would have the right to refuse him entry should they choose to.

I thought he was talking about the specific case that was linked. I didn't realize he was making a general statement referring to non-Canadian citizens. But hey it's been cleared up now and I did, in fact, not think it through
