Even If You Do Everything Right, You'll Probably Be Arrested

If you read this blog or speak to any DUI attorney, you will quickly learn there are a couple of things you should be doing if you are ever stopped and investigated for DUI. First, you shouldn't admit to drinking, but you shouldn't deny it. Second, you should refuse to take the field sobriety tests. Third, you should refuse to take the portable breath test (the test you take out on the road, not at the police station).

If you do this, you are going to do two things. First, you are going to make the cop extremely frustrated and build a great case for yourself. I like this. Second, you are probably going to get arrested and need a DUI defense attorney to help you out. This part I don't like so much.

Why are you going to get arrested? The fact of the matter is, if you smell like alcohol, even a little bit, you are probably going to get rung up for DUI. Only the most honest cops will let you go if they smell alcohol on you. It's impossible for them to get that smell out of their mind, and they start seeing a bunch of other stuff based on that smell.

And for cops, their main goal is to get drunk people off the road. And if they have to arrest a few people that aren't DUI, then that's okay. That's why you want to follow the above recommendations. If you are charged with DUI, you need to set your case up so your criminal lawyer can come in and take care of business for you.

Bottom line, if you get pulled over after drinking, there is a high likelihood that you are going to get arrested. All you can do is cover your ass the best you can and call your DUI attorney as soon as possible.
