10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DWI
|
- You have the right to refuse to perform
roadside sobriety tests.
- You have the right to refuse the breath test.
- You have the right to an independent blood
test within 2 hours of taking a breath test.
- You have the right not to answer any
questions.
- If you are arrested for DWI, you have 15 days
to appeal the suspension of your Texas
Driver's License.
- If the roadside sobriety tests are not
administered in strict compliance with NHTSA
guidelines, the validity of the test results is
compromised.
- The police officer administering the breath test
has no knowledge of the (pseudo)scientific
principles behind the breath test machine.
- It may take up to 2 hours for the alcohol you
consumed to make its way into your
bloodstream.
- If the police didn't have a valid reason to stop
you, all evidence gathered after the stop may
be inadmissible in court.
- You need an experienced DWI attorney who
knows the law and knows the tests to
represent you.
