Framingham Police and OUI Enforcement
OUI enforcement in Framingham involves both local and state agencies. Framingham Police patrol city streets and respond to OUI calls within city limits. Massachusetts State Police Troop E covers the Mass Pike (I-90) and Route 9, with the Framingham State Police Barracks serving as the base for that enforcement zone. Troop E is among the more active State Police troops in Massachusetts for highway OUI enforcement.
Framingham Police are headquartered at 1 William Welch Way, Framingham MA 01702. The non-emergency line is 508-872-1212. The Mass Pike and Route 9 both carry heavy traffic volume and are consistent enforcement targets, especially at night and on weekends. The Route 9 commercial corridor through Framingham also generates city-level OUI stops, as bars and restaurants line the road in several stretches. City police handle those stops while State Police focus on the highway zones.
If an OUI arrest was made by State Police on the Mass Pike, the arrest report is handled through Troop E, not the Framingham Police Department. You need to contact the relevant barracks to request a copy of that report. The court case, however, will still be filed at Framingham District Court regardless of which agency made the arrest.
Massachusetts OUI Penalties
Under MGL c.90 § 24, a first OUI carries fines of $500 to $5,000, up to 2.5 years in jail, and a one-year license suspension. Many first-time defendants use the 24D disposition under MGL c.90 § 24D, which substitutes probation and alcohol education for jail and reduces the suspension to 45 to 90 days. A second OUI brings a two-year suspension. A third is a felony, with fines up to $15,000 and an eight-year suspension.
The state uses the term OUI rather than DUI, but both refer to the same offense under Massachusetts law. The blood alcohol threshold is 0.08% for most drivers. Drivers under 21 face a stricter limit of 0.02%. The law also covers impairment by drugs or any controlled substance, not just alcohol. For more on the full penalty structure, see the Massachusetts law about drunk driving page on mass.gov.
Note: A breath test refusal in Framingham triggers an immediate RMV administrative suspension that starts before any court-ordered suspension takes effect.
Getting Copies of Framingham OUI Records
You can request copies of Framingham OUI records in person or by mail. Mail requests go to the clerk's office at 600 Concord Street, Framingham MA 01702. Include the defendant's full name, approximate case year, and docket number if you have it. Enclose payment for the applicable fees as a check or money order payable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Plain copies are $0.05 per page. Certified copies are $2.50 per page. If you are not sure which type you need, call the clerk first at 508-875-7461. In-person requests are usually handled the same day. Staff will pull the docket and make copies while you wait. Very old records that predate the court's digital system may take longer to retrieve. For felony cases at Middlesex Superior Court, the same fee schedule applies and copies must be requested from that court directly.
Driving Records and CORI for Framingham OUI Cases
A Framingham OUI conviction creates records in two separate systems. The court docket holds the criminal case history. The RMV driving record tracks license suspensions and administrative actions that result from the OUI.
An unattested driving record from the RMV costs $8. An attested record costs $20. Both can be requested online, by mail, or at any RMV service center. The driving record is the document you need to understand the full administrative impact of an OUI conviction and to plan for reinstatement. After a suspension ends, the driver must go through the RMV reinstatement process before driving again. Some reinstatements require an ignition interlock device, fees, and proof of insurance filing.
Criminal history through CORI comes from the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services. A standard CORI request costs $25. CORI shows charges, dispositions, and sealing status. A 24D outcome can be sealed right away after completing the program. A misdemeanor OUI becomes eligible after five years. A felony OUI requires a ten-year wait. The petition to seal is filed at the court where the case was heard.
