Steps To Take If Pulled Over For Drunk Driving In Phoenix
Keep Your License, Registration & Insurance Accessible
Anytime you’re operating a vehicle, it is smart to keep your drivers license, registration, and insurance accessible in the event of getting pulled over. This ensures that when the stress of interacting with law enforcement is on, you will at least have the documents you need to prove that you are legally allowed to drive the vehicle. This prevents further consequences and stress.
Know Your Right To Refuse Certain Tests
Many people are unaware that in the event of being pulled over, they have the right to refuse certain field sobriety tests. It’s important to note, though, that refusal can result in an arrest anyway. However, in some cases, refusing certain tests and asking for them to be done later can immensely help your case in the future.
Inform The Officer Of Any Medical Conditions
When you’re pulled over, you should clearly and calmly let the officer know if you have any medical conditions that could influence the tests you are given or behavior that they see. It is possible that you have symptoms that could be mistaken for intoxication. If this is the case, it is a good idea to have a medical card on hand to make proving your behavior simpler.
Decline The Preliminary Breathalyzer Test
Arizona law allows you to decline the preliminary breathalyzer test without having any legal consequences. While this refusal could result in an arrest, your refusal will work to prevent this evidence from being used against you. Additionally, field breathalyzer tests are not always accurate. When you are arrested, you will be required to take a chemical test.
Contact Our Criminal Defense Attorneys
If you are arrested, exercise your right to remain silent and request to contact your attorney right away. At that point, get in contact with our team at My AZ Lawyers and we will take quick action to be by your side to represent you as well as work to build a strong defense for your case when it goes to court. Trust our DUI attorneys to be your strong advocates in this challenging time.
Effective DUI Defense Strategies In Phoenix
Lack Of Probable Cause
In some cases, individuals are stopped without a valid reason. This is not allowed and if it happened, it can be a great defense as any evidence that the officer was able to get during the stop can be suppressed or weakened.
Failure To Read Miranda Rights
Your arresting officer must inform you of your Miranda rights immediately. If there is evidence that they did not do so, any statements that you made may not be used in court, which can be a strong defense that our attorneys can use.
Inaccurate Breath Testing
Breathalyzer tests can be inaccurate and can benefit cases by providing a strong defense. Our attorneys will challenge the accuracy of the tests which could induce doubt on your blood alcohol results!
Plea Deal Negotiation
Let us help you by negotiating an advantageous plea deal which exchanges your admission of guilt for reduced charges and penalties. Our attorneys are skilled at understanding DUI cases and determining the best possible plea deal available.
