How to protect yourself from the police 

If you have been pulled over by the police, don’t let yourself become a victim. Follow these six tips and keep yourself out of jail:

1. Do not be intimidated by the police. If you are nervous, police officers may think that you are hiding something or are intoxicated. Don’t give them that opportunity. Remaining calm and being polite are good ways to ensure that police officers leave you alone.
2. Clean out your glove box. Fumbling through these compartments to find your registration or insurance can be easily misinterpreted as intoxication. Keeping the glove box or center console neat and clean allows you to swiftly grab your identification and present it to a police officer.  Keep your registration and insurance in an easy to find document holder so it is quick to find and they are both together.
3. Do not let the police search your car. Any evidence found in your car could be used to support a DUI conviction. Do not allow the officer to perform a search without a warrant.
4. Request to talk to an attorney before taking the sobriety test.   Depending on your convesation with the attorney you may not want to submit to a chemical test.  Keep in mind many DUI defendants have been found not guilty due to a malfunctioning breath analyzing machine or an improperly administered blood or urine test. Also, you may still blow under the legal limit.
5. Get a blood test after release. Alcohol detection devices can be unreliable and malfunction. Don’t go to jail because of a broken machine. It’s a good idea to measure your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) with a blood test after arrest. At trial, your attorney can use that evidence to raise possible defenses.
6. Contact a DUI attorney immediately.
