What to Do if You Have Been Arrested on Suspicion of a DUI
If you have ever been pulled over for a minor traffic violation, you know how stressful dealing with police officers can be. Now, imagine that you were pulled over and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). You will likely be nervous, confused, or even frightened. It is important that you take a deep breath and remember that you do have rights.
If you have been stopped for a DUI, remain polite and calm. You will have to provide your name, address, license, and registration. It is not advisable, however, to engage in a conversation with an officer regarding what you had been drinking earlier that day. You may politely decline to take a field sobriety test and a preliminary alcohol screening breath test.
