Case Name: Case Number: ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS CLASS B MISDEMEANOR

No force has been used upon me, nor have any threats been made to me, by any member of the Prosecutor's Office or anyone else to have me enter this plea of GUILTY OR NOLO. No promises have been made to me by any member of the Prosecutor's Office or anyone else in an effort to have me enter this plea of GUILTY OR NOLO to the charge(s), except as follows:

However, I understand that the judge is not bound by the Prosecutor's recommendation as to sentence, and that I may withdraw my plea if the judge exceeds the limits of a negotiated plea. I understand as a consequence of my plea of GUILTY OR NOLO that he judge may impose any sentence appropriate in the judge's sole discretion, subject to a maximum fine of $1,200 for each offense and penalty assessment and the possible maximum loss of a driver's license/privilege to operate for each offense. I understand that as few as three motor vehicle convictions include this one may result in my being declared an HABITUAL OFFENDER. If that happens, I will lose my license for four (4) years. I realize that if I am found to be an habitual offender, it is my responsibility at the end of the four (4) year period, to petition the Director, Division of Motor Vehicles, to restore my privilege to drive a motor vehicle. I understand that if I were to operate during the four (4) year period or any time before my privilege to drive a motor vehicle is restored then I would be subjecting myself to a mandatory prison term of no less than one (1) year and no more than five (5) years. I understand the nature of the charge(s) against me and the maximum punishment that may be imposed. I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I understand the entire contents of this Acknowledgment of Rights, and I freely and voluntarily sign this form below. I also understand that I may have a copy of this form upon request.
