FREE ILLINOIS DUI CASE EVALUATION
What To Do If You’re Pulled Over For Suspicion of DUI in Illinois
Nobody intends to go out and be arrested for DUI/DWI. But
it happens to even the most thoughtful and careful people. The best
defense altogether is to not drink and drive.
But I want you to be prepared if you do unexpectedly get pulled
over by the police for driving while intoxicated.
What I want you to do is print out the information below and
carry it with you . . . keep it in every car you own.
Then, if you are ever pulled over, give the copy you just printed
out and hand it to the officer who pulls you over. I hope you never
have to use it, but it might come in handy . . . and make a tremendous
difference in dealing with the charges against you if you are arrested.
Finally, if you are arrested call me at the number below, I’ll be
happy to do my best to defend you against your charges.
ASSERTION OF RIGHTS
I refuse to take any field sobriety tests. I refuse to talk to you, other
than to identify myself, until I consult with my attorney. I also refuse to
consent to any search of these premises or any other premises under my
control, or in which I have a legal interest, including my car, my body, or
effects.
I further refuse to consent to the taking of any portion of my
property, or any specimen of my breath, bodily fluids or tissue, for
scientific analysis, without the reasonable opportunity to obtain the advice
of my attorney by telephone.
I desire to exercise all my rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution of the State of Illinois to be free from
your interference with my person or affairs.
If you attempt to question me, I want my lawyer present. I refuse to
participate in any line-up or to perform any physical acts (including
field sobriety tests), or to speak or display my person or property
at your direction, without first conferring with my lawyer.
If I am under arrest, I wish to invoke and exercise my Miranda rights. If
you ignore my exercise of these rights and attempt to procure a waiver, I
want to confer with my lawyer prior to any conversations with you.
If I am to be taken into custody, removed from my present location, or
separated from my property, I request a reasonable opportunity to make
arrangements to secure my own property.
I do not consent to any impoundment or inventory of my property.
I do, hereby, waive any claim of liability for loss, theft, or damage
against you, your superiors, or any other authority, and agree to hold
all harmless therefrom, if I am afforded the reasonable opportunity to
arrange for the safekeeping of my own property.
If this reasonable opportunity is denied or is unavailable, I demand
that only such intrusion occur as is minimally necessary to secure
such property, hereby waiving any claim of liability for your failure
to scrutinize the property or its contents prior to its being secured.
If I am not under arrest, I want to leave. If I am free to leave, please tell me immediately so that I may go about my business.
