I was on vacation in Florida and received a DUI. Will the California DMV find out about it? And if they do, will my driver's license be suspended?

Under the Interstate Compact, Florida is supposed to contact California DMV and inform it of the violation. Then California is supposed to impose the penalties from Florida on your California license. Sometimes this can take a while to happen. Sometimes it never happens.
