The DWAI or driving while ability impaired offense is considered a violation as opposed to a crime. However, if convicted of DWAI, penalties can be very tough. For a first offense, a DWAI conviction will bring fines, surcharges and a 90 day suspension of driving privileges.

Under the ex post facto rule, you cannot be charged with a criminal offense if it was not a criminal offense at the time you committed it. By the same token, if you committed a criminal offense that has since been repealed (meaning this is no longer a criminal offense) you still are considered having a criminal record for that offense.
