THE PROBLEMS with
AUO
("Aggravated Unauthorized Operation") charges in New York
In this video, Attorney Mike Cyr explains the problems with Aggravated Unauthorized Operation charges in New York.
Let's begin: Aggravated Unauthorized Operation or "AUO" charges are basically New York's version of driving on a suspended/revoked license.
AUO in the 3rd degree --the lowest of the AUO family of charges, is a CRIMINAL CHARGE--that carries penalties that include jail, probation or conditional releases. It is very serious charge that must be dealt with directly.
If you are convicted of an AUO in New York--you will get a PERMANENT, LIFETIME criminal record. It is a big deal. NOTE: There is no expungement in NY of criminal records.
An AUO presents special challenges because we have to perform a two-step process with every case that we defend. First, we have to figure out WHY you were suspended or revoked originally. Second, we have to make sure that underlying suspension is cleared up. Third, we have to provide proof that your suspension is clear to the prosecutor and the Judge in order to begin defending the AUO charge...
It's a process as you can see. The point I want to convey clearly is that AUO charges range from a criminal misdemeanor to a FELONY. They are serious charges that require a criminal defense attorney to represent you.
