    Ummm… A DUI is a misdemeanor, unless it’s like your 3rd or 5th one in X number of years, depending on jurisdiction. I got a DUI years ago. I’m not a convicted felon.

      Must depend on the state then or they changed it since you got yours. It’s a felony here.

        Damn. I looked it up, and apparently New York, and New Jersey, and Wisconsin are the odd states that even a first time DUI is a felony. Everywhere else it’s generally charged as a misdemeanor for your first three, and the fourth is a felony.
