DWI / DUI / OUI Frequently Asked Questions

What can the police do before they arrest me?

They can ask you to identify yourself and briefly question you about the incident.

What should I do when if I am questioned by the police?

Think carefully about your words, movement, body language and emotions. Don’t get into an argument with the police. Don’t run, don’t resist. Don’t touch the police officer. Do not make any statements regarding the incident because anything you say or do can be used against you. Ask for a lawyer immediately upon your arrest. Tell the police only your name and address, you can make your defenses in court.

Do the police need a warrant to search my car or home?

The police need a warrant to search your home unless you consent. The police can search the area around your car and can look into the windows of your car without your consent. In order to look inside compartments in your car or inside your pocket book, police need either your consent or a warrant if you are not under arrest.

What are my “Miranda Rights” and when should I get them?

Your Miranda rights are the right to remain silent, a warning that anything you say will be used against you in court, the right to have an attorney and the right to have an attorney present before any questioning. Your Miranda rights should be given when you are arrested or when you are taken into custody. You should NOT make any statements until you talk to an attorney.

Do I need a lawyer?

It is always good to seek a professional’s advice on your particular issues. Criminal convictions can mean jail time, loss of employment, penalties and consequences for future offenses. If you cannot afford an attorney, you can always contact the Public Defender’s office or ask for “an appointed attorney”. If you have any questions, please contact our office to speak to an attorney about your concerns.
