What to do if you are stopped
If you have been pulled over by the police, there are several ways that you can help yourself.

  1. Remain calm. Police officers can interpret nervousness in your voice as a sign that you are hiding something or that you are intoxicated. Whether you have consumed alcohol or not, remaining calm is a good way to ensure that police officers do not question your sobriety
  2. Always have a clean center console or glove box. Fumbling through these compartments to find your registration or insurance can be easily misinterpreted as intoxication. Keeping the glove box or center console neat and clean enables you to swiftly grab your identification and to present it to a police officer.
  3. Do not consent to a search of the car. Any evidence found in your car could be used to support a DUI conviction, so do not allow the officer to perform a search.
  4. Contact a DUI / DWI attorney immediately.
