Understanding Your Rights in a DUI Stop

Last updated 7 months ago

Everyone makes mistakes. This video explains what to do if you have been pulled over and arrested for a DUI. The first step is to be aware of your Miranda rights. These include the right to remain silent, the right to speak to an attorney, and the knowledge that everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

The procedures following your arrest may differ from state to state, but your best option is to obtain an attorney. A DUI attorney can help you negotiate a plea agreement and enable you to avoid certain legal consequences for pleading guilty.
