Miranda Rights

Contrary to popular belief inspired mainly by television shows about the legal system, arresting officers do not have to read you your Miranda Rights before the arrest. The police need only a suspicion of driving under the influence to arrest you – if they do not read you your Miranda Rights you are exempt from self-incrimination and anything you do say may be dismissed as invalid later in the trial, but the arrest may stand.

“Implied Consent” Law

When you are first pulled over on a suspicion of driving under the influence, you have the right to refuse submitting to a blood alcohol content test. However, if you refuse to submit to this test and you are later convicted for drunk driving, the fact that you refused may be held against you. You may face heavier fines, increased jail time, and a longer suspension or revocation of your license.
