What should I do if was stopped for a DWI?
If you’ve been stopped for a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), it’s crucial to handle the situation with care and seek legal assistance immediately. If you are stopped for a DWI, it’s crucial to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement officers while also protecting your rights. Firstly, it’s essential to understand that you have the right to remain silent and the right to legal representation. You are not required to answer any questions beyond providing basic identification information, and you have the right to request an attorney before answering any further questions or submitting to any tests.
If an officer asks you to perform field sobriety tests or take a breathalyzer test, you have the right to refuse. However, refusal may result in consequences such as license suspension, and the officer may still arrest you based on other evidence of impairment. It’s essential to weigh the potential consequences of refusal against the potential consequences of submitting to testing. If you do submit to testing and are arrested for DWI, it’s crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
