d) mandatory sentencing

please help ASAP:)

Answer 1

Barney will first be subject to criminal prosecution. You need to be found guilty before being sentenced to community service or be subject to mandatory sentencing.

Also, he can't be subject to civil prosecution because being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol is a criminal offence not a civil one.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be C, Criminal Prosecution.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person is caught drunk while driving and the amount of Alcohol in his blood is more than 0.8% or higher, he will be charged with the DUI, which is Driving Under the Influence. His immediate tests are taken at the spot. Afterwards, his urine tests are also taken, which makes it easy for the law enforcement team to prove their stance. He will then be showed to the criminal prosecution, because driving under the influence is a criminal offense, so he will be brought to the criminal prosecution, where his case would be started and the judge would see all aspects and evidences and then give his final verdict. So in this question, answer C would be the correct option.
