It has been suggested that over 99% of all people pulled over for driving under the influence do not know what to do or what not to do when a police officer starts questioning a suspected drunk driver. Being arrested for a DUI is out of your control, but not further incriminating is 100% within your control. I’ve written about the biggest mistakes people make after a DUI arrest before here and about a DUI Lawyer in Draper Utah as well. Most drivers have either been unlucky enough to pass through a DUI checkpoint, or been pulled over for an equipment defect, tag issue or motor vehicle offense. Here are some tips of how to beat a DUI, in most cases, and avoid the many DUI penalties that can follow you for life.
• First and foremost, remain silent. That means to be quiet. The only thing required from you is to disclose to an officer is your correct name and current address. This extends to all times, including at jail after arrest. Anything else you say and everything else you provide to the investigating officer looking for a drunk driving arrest will be used as evidence against you later. The most harmful information in most DUI cases is what comes out of a client’s mouth. If you want to beat a DUI, you need to remain silent. Because you are more likely than not being video and audio recorded, do not give evidence against yourself. If the officer plans to arrest you anyway, you are not going to improve your DUI charge by talking or begging to be let go.
