At which point does an officer have to read you your rights after being placed under arrest for dui

David William Olson
Answered by attorney David William Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of David W. Olson
Many folks wrongly but reasonably believe that a police officer must immediately inform an arrested person that he or she has the right to remain silent and other rights.  They are referring to "Miranda" rights, or warnings, which in fact must be provided to an individual by a police officer if two conditions exist: First, the individual must be "in custody."  That doesn't necessarily require handcuffing or the actual restraint of one's physical liberty.  A person is "in custody" if, given all of the attendant circumstances, a reasonable person in the given situation would believe that he or she is not free to leave the presence of the officer.  Secondly, the officer must intend to ask questions of the person who is "in custody." Standard procedure by police in DUI investigations is to not provide Miranda warnings until after "non-testimonial" aspects of the investigation have occurred.  Those would include roadside sobriety tasking and breath, blood or urine gathering.  That is because they know that Miranda warnings may cause an arrested person to not cooperate with that part of the investigation. If a person, without Miranda warnings being provided, at any time during any investigation, states to a police officer that he or she wants to consult with a lawyer, or is unwilling to answer any questions, there can be no interrogation.   So, during the investigation when you mentioned your desire to speak to an attorney, you were then invoking your Constitutional rights to an attorney and to silence.

Can I go to jail for drinking 3 beers and one half a mixed drink without getting pulled over?

Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
It is highly unlikely you could be charged with a DUI because they would have to have some evidence of your blood alcohol level at the time you were driving. It would not be enough for them to have a witness to testify to what amount of alcohol you consumed prior to driving a vehicle, even if they had you driving away on tape because they still need your BAC. However, in the future it is not a good idea to drive if you have had more than a couple drinks because the BAC standard for intoxication is so low most people do not realize how quick and easy it is to get to. 08.
