even if he pays the money to the other driver it doesn't mean the government will drop the case.. NOT AT ALL!
a crime has been committed. he was caught DUI!
so he has been finger printed.. which is protocol anyway for anything now.
so he will be charged for driving under the influence, and what ever other charges the police have sited him for.
so the prosecutor will be charging him no question about that.
he will be charged for DUI, depending how over the limit he is will depend on the amount of money he pays for the fine to the city..
and of course he will loose his license for x amount days. there wont be jail time for a first offence.
but he is being charged for DUI.. you can bank on that. |
Are you talking about the OP? When did he ever say that he was driving? He only mentions criminal damage. |

Just to clear up a few things
I was not driving any car, i only caused some damage to a car.
I did not pay any money to the government, i just paid the owner of the car money for the damage i caused. The cop told me when they arrested me it would go to the prosecutor to decide the case at the time. But i got my friend to help me out and i paid the owner very quickly and they then went to the police office to drop the charges i guess? The cop then said nothing more would happen... |

| I know a guy is Busan who was busted for stealing from Lotte Hotel. He was arrested. He eventually paid for the stuff and the charges were dropped. He's had 2 new contracts since then. |

This I know not to be true. You can be convicted of something (like a smiple criminal offence, or a DUI), and if not immediatly deported you are fine.
You can renew the visa you are currently on as many times as you like. However, if you try and change your visa to another job, that is when the shit hits the fan. |

Doesn't the procedure go, Arrest-Charge-Court-Conviction/Acquittal..........
You only have a criminal record if you are convicted. Not if you are simply arrested and charged......I think....maybe Korea is different. |

This is a really confusing thread.
Does immigration automatically check your criminal record every time you apply for a new visa? And when does something reach the stage where it appears?
I'm curious about this issue as well because I was indirectly involved in something immensely dumb several years back and had to pay a relatively small fine to the prosecutor's office or whatever. But I haven't had any problems getting work visas since then.
But all sorts of competing stories are appearing here. |

so you were charged for vandalism?
if you paid the owner of the car. then the charges have been dropped!
what crime did you commit that the police are seeking to charge you for?
because they are not charging you for damaging the other guys car...
so what is it exactly? |

I would find it hard to believe that immigration wouldn't check, but you never know. Anyway, I've changed contracts and heard nary a whisper about my past indiscretion.
I think that DHC guy was speaking authoritatively about something he actually knew nothing about in an attempt to feel important, or because he found the OP's behaviour childish and would like to believe that he would not be allowed to remain. Reality is always disappointing to such people. |
