Title: Things You Should Know Before Dealing With A DUI Charge

Things You Should Know Before Dealing With A DUI
Charge
2
If you are pulled over by a police officer under
suspicion of driving under the influence, the
decisions that you make from that moment on will
determine how everything will play out for you.
It is in your best interest to be as cooperative
as possible with the police officer, at all
times. If you are severely intoxicated or only
have a few bears, you will have alcohol in your
system and you will be in trouble. The only
difference is will you potentially get away with
a warning, or will you end up in jail? Either
way, you are going to need an attorney to protect
your best interests and potentially reduce your
charges.

Here are the things that you should know before
dealing with a DUI charge
4
Never Argue With the Police Officer
From the moment when you are pulled, you should
try and speak only when asked. Provide the
officer with your ID, license, and registration,
and await further instructions. The officer will
use a PAS (preliminary alcohol screening) device
or an EBT (evidential breath test) device to
determine how much alcohol you have in your
system.
5
If you have more than the allowed amount,
depending on how much you have, you could
Leave with a simple warning if you have just
over the limited amount of alcohol in your system
End up in jail for 24h (or until sober) if the
level of alcohol in your blood is beyond
reasonable
Get ticketed for driving under the influence of
alcohol
6
Charged With a DUI
If you are charged with a DUI, the police officer
will most likely take you to the nearest station.
When this happens, your vehicle will get towed
(at your expenses) and you will be notified which
company has tower your vehicle and will be given
contact information in order to retrieve
it. Note If you do not arrange for your vehicle
to be picked up, you may face additional towing
and handling costs. Do it as fast as possible.

Hire An Attorney
Once you arrive at the station, you will be
processed. Once everything is completed, you will
most likely have to appear in court to receive
your sentencing. At this point, your attorney
will be your best friend. Remember to always stay
respectful and truthful, and be as polite as you
can. Do what you are told to do, and let DUI
attorneys in Salt Lake City take care of your
charges and all the legal work. They will
investigate your case, and determine whether or
not you were properly handled from the moment
you were pulled over until you are processed.
Remember that having an attorney is your best
chance of getting a reduced penalty, or walking
away without one.
