If you’re facing Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
One-tier reductions from Super Extreme DUI to Extreme DUI are the standard plea-down structure when full charge dismissal is not on the table. The reduction drops the jail floor from 14 actual days to 9, the IID from 18 months to 12, and the fine tier from the highest C1M level to the second-highest. Continuous alcohol monitoring (CAM) substitution covers 7 of the 9 Extreme custody days at home rather than in physical jail.
