    In support of my application to waive attorney I state:1. I know l have aright o be represented by an attorney in thiscase and that if I cannot afford to hire an attorney, the Court would appoint

    counsel for me, without any initial cost on my part; I further realize that I wouldultimately have to reimburse the State for those expenses.

    2. I know that an attorney would represent my interest in allcourt proceedings and would be available to answer questions for me. I amaware that there may be defenses to the charges against me that I as a non-lawyer may not be aware of. | know a lawyer would give me the opportunity toobtain an independent opinion on how to proceed and defend the case againstme.

    3. I know the County Attorney and hisstaff do not represent mebut rather are responsible for prosecuting me. .1 know that I cannot rely upon theCounty Attorney for legal advice.

    4. Havingconsidered myright o counsel, together with the riskand disadvantages of proceeding without an attorney, I want to represent myselfand I want to waive myright o an attorney.

I realize that, if there was no personal or property injury, and I present to theCourt a temporary restricted license, the Court may waive up to $625 ofthe fine and the relatedstatutory surcharge. I acknowledge that, the Court may order me to perform community servicework, if the Court is of the opinion that community service work will deter and discourage othersfrom similar criminal activity. The community service must be done for a governmental or nonprofit agency. (The rate at which community service shall be calculated against myfineshall bethe federal minimum wage.) In addition, I may be required to pay correctional fees forincarceration and enrollment fees for probation. I am aware that sentencing options may includedeferral of Judgment and Sentence, the grant of probation and the suspension of the sentenceimposed.

    There is a minimum penalty of imprisonment in jai l for 48 hours, which must be imposedunless I am eligible for a deferred judgment, or deferred sentence. The Court must order me to attend a course for drinking drivers. The Court must order me to undergo a substance abuse evaluation and to follow therecommendations. The Court may order me to participate in a reality education substance abuse preventionprogram. The Court may order restitution to any victim of my offense. In addition, the Court mayorder restitution up to $500 each to any public agency (fire-fighting, law enforcement,ambulance, medical or any other emergency services), which responded as a result of myviolation. Unless the Department of Transportation has already revoked my license or drivingprivileges, I understand my license or driving privileges will be revoked a minimum of 180days.

    20/25

    I understand that there can be no deferral of judgment or sentence or suspension of anymandatory minimum sentence of incarceration and no suspension of any other part of mysentence not involving incarceration if: I tested over . 15%; or I refused an implied consent test; or I have been convicted of OW I or received a deferred judgment or sentence forOW I in Iowa or any other state; or If another person was injured by this OW I offense.

    I understand that there can be no reduction of my fine and the related statutory surchargeunless:

    The Court finds that there has been no personal injury as a result of my actions,and

    The Court finds that there has been no property damage as a result of my actions,and

    I present a temporary restricted license within the time ordered by the Court. I understand I must complete a substance abuse evaluation at my own expense before Ican be sentenced. I will provide the evaluation to the Court before I am sentenced.

    A . I understand that a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may affectmy status under federal immigration laws.

    B . If I plead not guilty, I would be entitled to the following rights. I give up these rights bypleading guilty:(1) . The right to a speedy andpublic trial by a jury of twelve people.(2) .

At trial, I would be presumed innocent until such time, if ever, the State established myguilt beyond a reasonable doubt.(4) . A t trial, a jury verdict of guilty would have to be unanimous.(5) . At trial, I would have the privilege against self-incrimination, that is, I cannot be forcedto testify, and if I choose not to testify, the State may not comment on the fact of my failure totestify and, at my request, I would be entitled to a jury instruction stating that the jury couldnot infer guilt frommy failure to testify.(6) . At trial, the State would have to confront me with witnesses upon whose testimony itrelied to obtain conviction, and I would have the right to cross examine those witnesses.(7) . At trial, I would be entitled to present witnesses to testify on my behalf and tocompulsory process to secure those witnesses.

    C. By pleading guilty, there will not be a trial of any kind. By pleading guilty, I waive my rightto trial, and will be treated as i f l had been tried and found guilty by a jury.

    D. The Court, in determining whether there is a factual basis for this plea of guilty, may makesuch a determination by examining the Minutes of Testimony attached to the TrialInformation, by reviewing the investigative reports of law enforcement agents who have
