    What To Do If Pulled Over For DUI In Arizona

    Ensure Your License, Registration & Insurance Are Accessible

    Ensuring your license, registration, and insurance are accessible is a good idea before you drive anywhere in the event that you are pulled over. If you are pulled over for a DUI, easy access to these items will reduce stress and give the law officer the information he needs promptly so he does not have to give you a ticket for not having these items.

    Remember Your Right To Refuse Certain Tests

    Keep in mind that you do not have to take certain tests if a law enforcement officer administers one to you. The tests that you’re able to refuse include a field sobriety test and a preliminary breath test. However, if you refuse a chemical test after an arrest, you could face penalties so make sure you understand which tests you’re able to refuse and when.

    Inform The Officer Of Any Medical Conditions

    Being pulled over by an officer can be nerve wracking. For future legal purposes, make sure you inform the officer of any medical conditions that you have that could affect your behavior or how to handle the sobriety tests. Diabetes, neurological disorders, or injuries can all have an affect on how the tests work on you. Make sure you’re honest and clear in disclosing these things.

If you choose to decline the breathalyzer test administered before your arrest, be polite, promptly contact your attorney, and keep in mind that you may still be subject to testing later on.

    Frequently Asked Questions About DUI

    There are several reasons you may choose to refuse a breathalyzer test, but you must keep in mind that doing so could come with consequences. If you have a medical condition that might be aggravated by blowing into a breathalyzer, or you believe that there is weak evidence, or no probable cause for the test, you could feasibly refuse. However, in Arizona, refusing a breath test if you are being pulled over for drunk driving could result in a driver’s license suspension for up to 12 months. This is possible because when you get a driver’s license in Arizona, you are giving implicit consent to be tested. If you believe you have a reason to refuse a breath test, be sure to get in contact with one of our attorneys immediately.

    For those that have a diverse license in a state other than Arizona, but are suspected of a DUI in Arizona, your driver’s license most likely will be affected which is why it is important to get in contact with our lawyers at My AZ Lawyers right away. Most states operate under an Interstate Driver License Compact which allows the states to communicate with each other about traffic violations, DUI arrests, and DUI convictions. Each state has rules on how they handle out-of-state offenses, but most will at least follow the suspicion. Some will give you penalties right away while others will wait for a conviction. A lawyer can help you determine the specific laws in your state.

    A DUI can affect your professional licenses or employment in many different ways, especially if you work in fields like healthcare, law, education, and transportation. In some cases, your professional licenses could be taken away or you may face suspension. In other jobs, you will be seen as breaking ethical standards and not maintaining good moral character which could lead to reduced responsibility. When it comes to looking for new jobs, many employers do background checks and will see your DUI conviction on your record. You may be passed over for jobs that you would have easily gotten before. All of these impacts are dependent on how serious the charge was, and whether or not it was your first offense. A DUI lawyer can help reduce your charges or even avoid a conviction altogether making them a valuable asset when you’re facing allegations.

    In Arizona, it is unlikely that you would ever get your DUI expunged from your record. Most DUIs stay on the record permanently. However, it is possible to have it set aside under specific conditions. Setting aside a judgment is not expungement, but rather more like a dismissal of charges. The DUI will still be evident on your record, but it will be noted that the judgment was set aside. To do this, you must complete all aspects of your judgment, including probation, fines, alcohol education classes, etc. Whether or not you can have your judgment set aside will depend on the circumstances of your case, the local court, and the help of a qualified attorney.

    Arizona has very strict laws when it comes to DUI charges. How serious your consequences are depends on how many offenses you have had. For a second DUI offense that happens within 7 years of the first, you are required to do jail time of 30-90 days as well as pay any fines, complete community service, go through alcohol screening and counseling, install an ignition interlock device, and your license will be suspended for 1 year. For a 3rd offense in the 7 year time frame, you will be convicted with a felony which includes all of the above penalties, but with longer jail time. For any subsequent offenses that are done within any time frame, you will be given a felony and have even more severe penalties. In addition to all of this, you will have all of the DUIs on your permanent record which will have penalties for you in everyday life.

    Yes! Of the entire United States, Arizona has some of the most strict laws and punishments when it comes to DUIs. The state puts a great priority on public safety. If you are arrested for a DUI in Arizona, you could face jail time, fines, mandatory alcohol education, and the installation of an ignition interlock device. For each consecutive offense, your penalties will get more and more severe. In addition to strict penalties, Arizona has sobriety checkpoints to ensure those that are on the road are driving safely. A DUI in Arizona is not a candidate for expungement either so if you are arrested for one, it will be on your record permanently.

    DUIs are not just for alcohol, but also for drugs including prescription medications, that may impair your ability to drive. If you are pulled over for a DUI, but have no alcohol in your system, you may be subject to a field sobriety test which will determine if you are impaired. An arrest could follow if you seem impaired, even if it’s by drugs. When it comes to enforcement, drugs and alcohol are treated the same. Refusing to be tested for drugs leads to similar consequences as refusing a breathalyzer test. However, if you believe you were arrested for a DUI and you had no alcohol or drugs in your system, you should get in contact with an expert DUI lawyer right away who can help create a defense and ensure that you are not unjustly convicted.

    Getting out of an arrest because the officer did not read your Miranda Rights may or may not work. An officer is required to read you your Miranda Rights when you are in custody and before you are interrogated. If the Miranda Rights were not read to you, it is possible that the statements you made will not be able to be used in court. However, while it changes whether or not statements can be used, it changes nothing about your arrest itself. Neither does a lack of reading these rights lead to any dismissal of charges. If you find yourself in this situation where you were not read your Miranda Rights, inform your DUI attorney who can determine how this defense can be used in your favor.
