DUI Question Asked:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello Officer Shawn,<\/p>\n

Based on your 10 years of experience with the Chicago police force. Please share your general advice and related experience to my concern.<\/p>\n

I’m afraid of a cop not following proper drunk driving testing procedure and that I may be wrongfully arrested for being over the limit of operating a vehicle from these field sobriety tests.<\/p>\n

To help me prepare for ever getting pulled over by a cop for a potential DUI. What rights do I have and what should I look for in how an officer performs a field sobriety or chemical test to ensure its fairly correct?<\/p>\n

Thanks for your detailed reply to address my concerns.<\/p>\n

Officer Shawn\u2019s DUI Answer:<\/p>\n

Regarding DUI’s:<\/p>\n

Your rights are the same, regardless of having been drinking or not. You must obey lawful police orders (surrender your license\/insurance upon being asked, step out of the vehicle, etc). That being said, you can do the following.<\/p>\n

I, along with many of my coworkers appreciate honesty. If you’ve only (seriously) had one drink, and maybe you are just nervous as hell talking to us, just say so. We HATE being lied to. If you are asked to perform field sobriety tests, remember the circumstances to use them to your advantage later. Maybe the street wasn’t completely level when I asked you to walk 10 steps and turn and walk back. Maybe you hurt your foot earlier in the day, making the task difficult. Perhaps you are having an adverse reaction to medication you are taking, making you drowsy. Get what I’m saying?<\/p>\n

To avoid a DUI, know your limits before getting behind the wheel and don’t drink far from home. Also, try to garner sympathy if you are pulled over. Just tell the officer you are just trying to make it home safely. I’ve given more than one person an escort home when they weren’t far away. Google your state laws regarding DUI and DWI, know your legal limit. Purchasing your own mini breathalyzer online isn’t a bad idea either. I hope this has been of help to you. If you have any other questions please let me know. Positive feedback and likes on Fiverr are very much appreciated. Drive safe.<\/p>\n

The advice is pretty down to earth whether it\u2019s really a cop or not. However I always warn my clients to not say too much, as it may be held against you in the court of law. Of course co-operate but leverage your Miranda rights as needed.<\/h1>\n
