The common advice is – do not consume alcohol or drug and drive. However, no one remembers that when in a party or sitting in a bar. But driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drug is the most severe traffic rule violation. The consequence of getting caught driving drunk can be very unpleasant as this is a punishable offense. In case you BAC or blood alcohol content rate is higher than 0.08% you will be charged with DUI and in case the prosecutor succeeds in establishing the offense, you may face community service, fine, driving license suspension and even prison time.
Do you know that most of the times the people incriminate themselves? How do they do that? And most importantly how to behave in case stopped for DUI?
Do not try to flee from the site in case the law enforcement officers order you stop the car. By fleeing the scene you will only prove your guilt. Therefore, pull the car at the side of the road when ordered to do so and remain inside the car. Do not step out unless you are asked to do so. In case the officers ask you about traffic rule violation, do not admit having done so. However, do not get into a verbal argument either.
Instead politely ask for an experienced Fort Pierce criminal defense lawyer. This is the most important aspect in protecting your rights.
