   1. Burrill, Jennifer: The only statement you should make to a police officer prior to consulting with an attorney is as follows: I refuse to consent to any search whatsoever. I do not consent to a search of my residence, my person, my immediate location, my vehicle, or personal effects. I am exercising my constitutional rights as stated in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. I do not wish to speak with you at this time and I want a lawyer. Criminal Services Your freedom is at stake when you are charged with a crime.

   1. Nicholas Cullander: The Sixth Amendment provides, in part, that criminal defendants have a right to "be confronted with the witnesses against [them]." This provision is generally referred to as the "Confrontation Clause" and means that criminal defendants have the right to cross-examine their accusers or witnesses who are testifying against them. While this principle has generally maintained its strength in the criminal court system, the U.S. Supreme Court has occasionally modified certain aspects.

    1. Jeff Lahann: It is very important for you to know that there are two separate processes involved after you have been arrested for DWI. First, there is the obvious criminal case against you, in which you face jail, fines and other penalties imposed by the court. The second, distinct, proceeding against you is an administrative action by the MVD to revoke your license to drive. You only have ten (10) days following your arrest to request a hearing to fight the revocation of your license to drive. Aggravated DWI New Mexico law provides for enhanced penalties for anyone convicted of DWI who: (1) has an alcohol concentration of sixteen one hundredths (.16) or more in his or her blood or breath while driving a vehicle within this state; or (2) has caused bodily injury to a human being as a result of the unlawful operation of a motor vehicle while driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs; or (3) refused to submit to chemical testing, as provided for in the Implied Consent Act, and in the judgment of the court, based upon evidence of intoxication presented to the court, was under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs. The difference in penalties between "simple" and "aggravated" DWI can be substantial. For example, a person convicted of a third DWI "simple" will face a mandatory jail sentence of thirty days but if convicted of a third DWI "aggravated" the minimum sentence is ninety days in jail. In addition, refusal to submit to a breath or blood test after arrest could increase revocation of your license from 90 days to a year. An experienced and knowledgeable trial attorney can challenge the aggravating circumstances and hold the prosecution to its burden of proof in meeting the strict requirements necessary to establish that the DWI is in fact "aggravated."
