Your Rights during a DUI Stop

In the state of Arizona, police officers may conduct a DUI traffic stop if they notice that a driver displays erratic driving behaviors or signs that are indicative of impairment. For example, if a driver weaves in between traffic lanes, an officer may conduct a DUI stop.

If you have been stopped for suspected DUI, you should remember two things. First, you have the right to remain silent. This means that you do not have to answer any questions that are asked by law enforcement officers. All you have to do is present the police with your driver's license, proof of insurance and registration.

Second, you have the right to a Phoenix DUI lawyer. Once you are stopped by law enforcement for possible DUI, you can request to speak with an attorney immediately. Speaking with a lawyer is wise as a legal professional can provide you with advice, protect your rights and defend you against your charges.
