Legal Rights for an Orange County DUI

Just because you get stopped on suspicion of a DUI, it doesn't mean that you have to get defensive or simply admit that you did indeed drive drunk. Always remember there are consequences to everything you say and do in such situations. Above all, you have legal rights although, going by the police officer's demeanor at the time, it may seem as if you have none.

• First, the police officer should have what is known as probable cause to stop, detain or arrest you
• You should be informed that you're not mandated to submit to field sobriety tests or the preliminary alcohol screening devices
• You must be advised of your constitutional rights or what is known as the Miranda warning
• You must be given a choice between blood or breath test
