Attorney Franks: No. The rights you're referring to are your Miranda Rights. If the police officers really did not read you your rights anything you state after you are apprehended is excludable. You have to have a criminal justice attorney make the appropriate motions at the appropriate time to get that information excluded. So if you were pulled over and confessed to alcohol consumption after you were detained after that there's a possibility that can be excluded. However it does not indicate you are guilty or not guilty.
Am I going to lose my motorists license?

They found me asleep in my car. The engine had not been running yet I still was charged with a DUI. How come?
Attorney Franks: They will certainly argue that you were still running an auto. They'll have to show it was capable of being operated and also they can do that if you had the key in the ignition even if it wasn't running because it was capable of being cranked. Nevertheless if you do not have the key in the ignition you have a good disagreement that you were not operating the car at the time you were impaired.
I passed the field test but they still detained me. Why?
Criminal Justice Attorney Franks: Its a legal DUI since you blew into a portable breath test and also obtained.08 or higher. That is sufficient to take you down to the station where you will certainly blow into the Intoxilyzer 8000 which is far more precise and also they will obtain an analysis and also you'll be detained. Even if you pass all your field soberness examinations the statute claims that as soon as you blow a. 08 or greater you are under the influence according to the regulation. So they jail you even if you clear the roadside sobriety test.
