Warren Drunk Driving Attorney

Getting arrested for drunk driving can be an overwhelming and unsettling experience, leaving you replaying every moment, questioning what went wrong. It’s not uncommon to feel like you were mistreated or even violated during the altercation. At Lucido & Manzella, we’ve spent over 25 years advocating for individuals in situations just like yours. Our experienced Warren drunk driving attorney will thoroughly investigate your case, protect your rights, and fight for the justice and respect you deserve.

What Are Your Rights During a DUI Stop?

When you are stopped for suspected drunk driving in Michigan, you have rights that law enforcement must respect. Key rights include:

  • The Right to Remain Silent

Beyond providing basic identifying information, you are not required to answer questions such as, “Have you been drinking?” Politely but firmly state, “I am exercising my right to remain silent.”

  • Voluntary Field Sobriety Tests  

Field sobriety tests, like walking a straight line or touching your nose, are not mandatory. You can refuse to take these tests as they often function as evidence against you, even if you are sober.

  • Recording the Interaction  

Michigan law allows you to record your interaction with law enforcement during a stop, provided it does not interfere with their duties. A recording can protect both you and the officer by ensuring transparency.

Signs Your Rights May Have Been Violated

It’s not uncommon for mistakes or overreach to happen during DUI stops. Your rights may have been violated if:

  • Unjustified Traffic Stop  

Police need a valid reason, or “reasonable suspicion,” to pull you over. Simply leaving a bar isn’t enough reason to stop you. If there was no clear traffic violation, this may be grounds for dismissal of your charges.

  • Improper Field Sobriety Tests  

Tests must be administered correctly by trained officers. External factors like poor weather, medical conditions, or uneven road surfaces could make these tests unreliable.

  • Faulty Breath or Blood Tests  

Results can be challenged if testing equipment was not properly calibrated or the administering officer lacked certification. Additionally, improper handling of samples can affect results.

Identifying such errors requires a meticulous review of your case, which our Warren drunk driving attorney at Lucido & Manzella can provide.
