If you have been pulled over for Sutton DUI, you know how frightening it can be. Coming face to face with a police officer can be extremely intimidating. But remember, the police are trying to collect evidence against you when you are pulled over for a Sutton DUI. So the best thing you can do is NOT give them the evidence that they need. Next time, you may be able to avoid an arrest completely:

How to Talk to Police at a Sutton DUI Checkpoint

  1. Don’t discuss your evening. Don’t offer any information about where you were, who you were with, and most importantly, what you had to drink. If the officer asks you “have you had anything to drink?” your answer should NOT be “I had a few beers.” You should say “I’d like to speak with my attorney before answering any questions.”
  2. Don’t crack jokes. This is not the time or place for your best cop joke – or any joke for that matter. The officer is watching you, and taking note of your behavior. If you are joking around, the state will use this against you in court.
  3. Be polite and respectful. Police officers demand respect. Whether you feel like respecting his authority or not doesn’t matter. Just do it. Be polite and you may find yourself driving away from the checkpoint instead of being dragged down to the station.
  4. Stay calm. Don’t overreact. Don’t get angry or belligerent. That is the worst thing you can do. You will only anger the cop and probably get arrested in the process.
  5. Refuse to take a field sobriety test. You do not have to take these tests. They are completely optional. The police officer who pulls you over will never tell you this information.
  6. Insist on calling a Sutton DUI attorney. Remind police that you would like to call your attorney as soon as possible. Once you are given the opportunity to do so, reach out to a skilled Sutton DUI attorney right away to get help and advice on what to do, and what not to do after your arrest.
