If you get pulled over by the police, you should remain as calm as possible.
Be respectful, but remember that you don’t have to answer any questions that might incriminate you.
Unless you are arrested, the officer will not Mirandize you, and anything you say can be used against you.
While you don’t want to incriminate yourself, there is some information you need to provide.
Give the officer your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.
You are not required to state for the record if you have been drinking.
The arresting officer may choose to administer a field sobriety test. A breathalyzer test may be administered at the site. If it shows that you are intoxicated, a second breathalyzer will be conducted at the police department.
In Nevada, refusing a breathalyzer can lead to a license suspension.
Blood tests can be more accurate than breathalyzers.
You do have the right to request a blood test instead of a breathalyzer.
You will be charged for the test if there was a working breathalyzer unit at the scene.
When you are taken to the booking station, make sure to take mental notes of your surroundings.
Get the arresting officer’s name and try to keep track of the times that events occur after your arrest.
As soon as you are informed that you are under arrest, ask for your attorney.
As soon as you are able, call your DUI lawyer.
Your attorney can begin working immediately to launch a defense for you.
A good DUI attorney will review your case and look for any holes that could help with your defense.
When you are arrested after a breathalyzer test, you will be given a temporary license.
This license only allows you to drive legally for seven days.
Within that seven days, you must request a hearing from the DMV so that a judge can rule on your ability to drive in the future.
By following these steps, you can ensure that you will be able to defend yourself in court.
Your DUI lawyer can help you reach a successful conclusion for your arrest.
Remember, the best defense for a DUI is to not drink and drive.
When you are pulled over in suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you must remember that you still have rights. After being pulled over it is important to stay as calm as possible. Do not let the police officer bully you, call your DUI lawyer immediately if you are arrested.
