Do you have Miranda rights when the police stop you for drunk driving? We take a break from murder and mayhem for some lighter fair. Check out more about the cases we cover on The Prosecutors + at…
But the reason we're talking about this, of course, is what is the DUI law? What happens if you stop and maybe refuse to do the typical breathalyzers and other things that may indicate that you are driving under the influence? Is it all you have to do to, say, invoke your right to a lawyer, your Miranda rights, and then are you scot-free? Or is it a bit more complex than that?
Yeah, let's talk about this.
So let's paint the scene.
Imagine, if you will, It's a beautiful summer day and you decided maybe you'll go play some golf.
And of course, you're playing golf.
What are you going to be doing? You're going to be drinking.
The girl comes by in the cart and she's got the cooler in the back and she wants to know if you want a beer or two or 12.
And you say, absolutely.
And it's not like you're down at every hole or anything.
We're not talking 18 beers, but probably more than one beer every couple holes.
And you get finished.
Maybe you have another drink in the clubhouse afterwards because you're going to have the 19th hole, right? And now it's time to go home.
And what are you going to do? It's not like you can call a cab and leave your truck and your clubs behind at the golf course.
The only driver you have is in your bag.
You're not that kind of person.
And you feel
fine.
So you decide you're just going to strike off.
The way to my heart is just pun after pun.
This is a great start to this legal briefs.
But
then it happens.
Blue lights.
You pull over to the side of the road and you brace yourself.
