How Silence With Police Ensures Better DUI Results

Silence with police can improve DUI results by preventing 1 statement from undermining key defenses. Talking can lock you into admissions that contradict medical, rising BAC, or contamination explanations later. This article explains how remaining silent helps your DUI defense strategy and case outcomes.

Interesting. Does that setup…that obviously sets up the defense better for those things… those potential defenses you mentioned earlier.

If we’re talking about, you know, you had cold medicine that comes up with alcohol… then you committed to drinking, and you discredited that particular defense. If you, you know… were eating something and your blood alcohol was rising, and at the time you were actually driving, it was below a .08, then it got higher later, if you’ve given a description already…that’s already challenging the defense of high blood alcohol rising…then you’re taking away my ability to help you.

I would encourage everyone who’s getting stopped just to say, “lawyer”, and “I’ll do what you ask me to do, but I’m not giving a statement“.
