Your Rights as a DUI Defendant
Friday, 29 December 2006

Unfortunately, you don't have alot of rights in a DUI arrest.  There is generally a DUI exception to the Constitution.

  • You have the right to refuse field evaluations.  However, an inference may be drawn from your refusal.
  • You have the right to speak to an attorney...when you get to jail.
  • You have the right to a phone call...when you get to the jail.
  • You have the right to refuse a breath, blood or urine test...but you may lose your PRIVILEGE to drive.
  • You have the right to an independent test of your breath, blood or urine... but you have to take their test first.
  • You have the right to FULL INFORMATION if you submit to the State tests...but the courts like to limit what FULL INFORMATION actually is.

If you want to protect your rights, hire a DUI attorney.
