If you ever encounter the unfortunate situation of being stopped by law enforcement after you have been drinking, be sure you act appropriately. You must remember that police officers are consistently looking for DUI drivers and if they smell alcohol on your breath, they will immediately treat you like a DUI suspect.
Here are some quick tips to remember if you have been stopped by an officer after drinking:
DO be polite;
DO NOT admit to anything;
DO NOT do any field sobriety tests;
DO request to speak to an attorney - demand it!;
DO follow the attorney's advice;
DO meet with a DUI attorney after your release.
Following the above advice won't stop an officer from arresting you and probably won't stop you from being charged with DUI, if there is enough evidence. However, it will immediately make your case stronger and improve you chances in court if you are charged with a DUI.
