Bernard Davis:
IF YOU ARE STOPPED FOR DWI
Consider yourself a prisoner of war.
When stopped you must do the following:
-
Upon request get out of the car.
-
Identify yourself and if you have a license give it to the officer.
-
Go with the officer if you are arrested.
Once you have done this the police cannot make you do anything else.
Do Not:
-
Answer any question other than required above.
-
Refuse all tests at the scene-this includes looking at the pen(HGN), heel to
toe, one leg stand or any other field sobriety test the officer wants you to
do-these tests are designed for failure and will only be used to get a
conviction against you.
-
Refuse all breath, urine or blood tests-this includes the breath test that some
officers have in their car.
By refusing to perform these tests and answer questions you are depriving the
police of many tools they would otherwise have to convict you. Do not help
them.
