Road-side Stops and Rights

ATTORNEY BRUCE LEHR ON WHAT TO DO IF PULLED OVER IN A ROAD-SIDE STOP ON SUSPICION OF DUI

In the State of Florida, law enforcement officers need probable cause to pull you over. This could mean that you violated a traffic law, exhibited signs of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or were involved in a car accident. The most important thing to remember when pulled over in a roadside stop is to stay calm, be polite and courteous, say nothing to the police other than giving your name, address, and date of birth, and comply with requests to see your driver's license and documentation.

If you are asked to perform a field sobriety test or blow into a Breathalyzer and you believe you are over the limit, it's often best to politely refuse on the advice of counsel. At this point, you will probably be taken to the station. Again, stay calm, say nothing, and as soon as you are able, contact the Miami offices of DUI defense lawyer Bruce Lehr Serving Broward and Dade Counties, Bruce Lehr is one of South Florida's premiere DWI defense attorneys, and has years of experience representing Florida individuals charged with driving while intoxicated. Bruce Lehr believes that all Americans, regardless of the charges or the details of their case, deserve skillful and aggressive criminal defense, and is ready to act as your DUI defense attorney.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF DUI

Florida's implied consent laws stipulate that by accepting a driver's license you give consent to submit to chemical testing of your blood or urine alcohol content (BAC) if police suspect you have been driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The officer is required to read an implied consent warning upon arrest. Refusing to submit to chemical testing will result in a suspension of your driver's license, but the results of a Breathalizer or urine test will still result in a suspension of your license if your BAC is over .08.

The results of these tests can be used in a trial to convict you if you are over the limit. In his years of defending clients accused of driving under the influence, Bruce Lehr has observed that it's often easier for a DUI defense lawyer to defend clients who refuse to provide a breath or urine test. Simply put, if you believe you may be over the limit, it's often best to refuse any kind of testing, and say nothing to anyone about your case until you've had a chance to speak with South Florida DUI defense attorney Bruce Lehr.
