Tis the Season!

Written by

Merry Christmas. You are getting pulled over for a DUI. The truth of the matter is over the holiday season checkpoints and DUI arrests are up we do not encourage you to drink and drive but if you are pulled over you must cooperate with law enforcement you do not have to answer their questions. You do not have to do their field sobriety tests. The only thing you are required to do is give a blood or breath test after the point of arrest. Once again you can refuse to answer their questions, you can refuse to perform any field sobriety tests, but you must give a blood or breath test once you are arrested for DUI.

By kindly refusing their tests and their questions you allow your defense attorney to argue that there was no probable cause to arrest for a DUI. This is a particularly strong defense and a checkpoint situation when there is no observable bad driving.

 

Once again, we do not encourage you to drink and drive but these are some of the legal defenses that can be employed if you find yourself in that situation. 

Stay Safe and Happy Holidays

DUI Checkpoints

Written by

Summertime is here, and that means DUI checkpoints are out in full force. Just because you are pulled over stopped and cited at a DUI, doesn’t mean you have to end up with the DUI. There are very specific laws governing the legality of a given checkpoint. The checkpoint itself and the examining officers have to comply with these laws and standards. My job as a DUI defense attorney is to know those standards and look for weaknesses. If you get stopped at a checkpoint and you are charged with DUI call now. I know I can help make a difference in your case. I’m here to Fight for you!💪 (818) 984-2242 Law Offices of Michael  Bialys The DUI MAN  https://www.dui1guy.com
