Opinion
WIENER, J.
This case involves what we will describe as the “disappearing” lawful arrest in the context of a driver’s license suspension by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). We decide, “Once a lawful arrest, always a lawful arrest” under Vehicle Code section 13353, regardless of the disappearance of the word “arrest” pursuant to the application of Penal Code sections 849.5 and 851.6. We reverse the judgment setting aside the suspension of Jeffrey Phillip Behan’s driver’s license and instruct the trial court to enter judgment for the DMV.
