if you listen to this guy and don't take either tests, you'll be arrested anyway for DUI and the officer will write a lengthy report supporting his arrest. If you have an officer with years of experience with DUI drivers who don't submit to testing and has a good repore the courts, then your fucked either way. Here's some advise not mentioned. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!
The police are acting under the presumption that we are "Driving" when most of us are traveling and are not under their statutory jurisdiction. A lawyer will never tell you that.
Try that in Utah.......automatic suspension for a year. had a person that I met ,while in "class" that was .005...refused ,still got a dui. i and that's way under the .08 here.
About the section about the right to refuse the roadside breath analysis....In Vermont, we have an "implied consent" law. Upon getting a license, you're agreeing to say yes when asked to take a field sobriety test. If you refuse you could lose your license for half a year.
@dgrimmick in AZ here there's a "driving while buzzed" campaign which is is supposed to deter any type of drinking and driving, ie: one or two drinks. back in the day MADDs agenda was to get the drunks off the road, now it's run by prohibitionists in the name of public safety to money grab and further the anti alcohol message. but yeah, just dont drink and drive.
When pulled over, cops usually ask where I work and what my phone number is, and write it down on my insurance paper. Do I have to tell them this? I'm thinking no since i have the right to remain silent. Why do they ask me for this info?
Simple solution to this problem. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! If you get drunk at a party, go back home by letting a DESIGNATED DRIVER drive you. You'd have to be a moron to end up driving drunk. This whole issue should really be a moot point. And if you DO act like an ass and drive drunk, then you should be compelled to admit it, and take the consequences like a man, and stop being a dummy. GROW UP YOU DRUNKEN FOOLS! And STOP TRYING TO WEASEL OUT OF YOUR WELL DESERVED PUNISHMENT!
"there are limits to what polica can or canot do" FALSE. those pigs will fuck you if they want to, nothing will stop them if they already made up their minds
Now if you are not drunk you have nothing to hide from their portable brethalizer, and if they do arrest you even after it proves you aren't drunk, they'll still make you redo it at the station, which will clear you if it matches the portable one.
And if they arrest you under suspicion of drunk driving, they can still make you take the brethalizer back at the station, which will at that point prove you are drunk, if indeed you are drunk. No escaping from a DUI.
By refusing the portable brethalizer test you keep from giving them info that would justify their arrest he says. I LOLed at that point because the only thing it gives is a number that says the ammount of alcohol in your system. If that number is incriminating it means YOU ARE LEGALLY DRUNK, and YOU HAVE COMMITTED DUI! It's not like something that they can mistake for anything to justify an arrest. Either you are drunk, or you aren't drunk.
@BankaiIchigo12345 The question isn't whether you are drunk or not, but if you are compelled to assist the authorities of convicting you. The right to not incriminate is more what he is speaking to.
it is not unlawful to drink alcohol & drive. Nor is it illegal for a pilot to drink alcohol and fly. It is against the law to operate under the INFLUENCE of alcohol. The government, either town, county, or State, tacitly endorses moderate drinking and driving. How? It requires restaurants and bars to obtain liquor licenses AND they must have parking areas sufficient for the patrons expected at those establishments
Drinking and driving is NOT illegal...only irresponsible. It is only illegal for "Drivers/Operators" of "Motor Vehicles". A Motor Vehicle is defined under : U.S.C. Title 18 Part 1 Chapter 2 section 31. Only if you are engaged in commerce, then drinking and driving becomes illegal. But of course the Lawer (Liar) won't tell you that.
If I go out and have a half a glass of wine with my dinner then decided to shoot pool for an hour then leave why is that considered the same to people as drinking and driving. You are not impaired nor have you broken any law but a lot of people this page included, believe that this is as wrong as drinking a six pack and barreling though an intersection. That term "Drinking and Driving" is very dangerous it profiles every single person under the same criteria. It's about being responsible adults.
what is he talking about, if you refuse a breathalyzer test you will be automatically arrested for drunk driving, so you're pretty much screwed either way
Okay, but if you refuse the roadside sobriety tests can't you get arrested anyway for "suspicion" of being drunk? Then once you're at the station you have to comply, right? Seems like the common man gets screwed no matter what
This guy is retarded. He obviously has never been pulled over by the police. The police officer do whatever they want to do to you and make up any bullshit to cover their ass. Including arresting ppl, beating them up, and shooting them. They have even been known to get away with rape and murder.
@Davidweiser ". The police officer do whatever they want to do to you and make up any bullshit to cover their ass"
Well of course -- how else did you expect police to arrest drunk drivers... If his advice really worked ( and you could simply refuse) then cops would never arrest anyone... if that really worked I would tell the cops to fuck off every time..
@olstar18 I agree -- my point is that if you are drunk it really dosent make a diffrence if you refuse the road side test or not -- because they are still going to get you/
You two are GOOD MEN. You are doing your NATION a great service to those who are NOT cold blooded KILLERS who want to kill innocent people. EVERYBODY has their faults and we DO OUR BEST to help cope with our problems, even if medications are included.
Where's the cast that teaches us what to expect when you don't "cooperate with the police? In the CDL world, an officer can strip-search your truck down to the last bolt and leave it to you to put it back together. They can rip your upholstry, destroy your load, and tear sheet metal in the process...just because you exercised your right to remain silent.
Police should be allowed to execute any drunk driver on the spot. That way, people will finally get it into their heads that drinking and driving is absolutely not acceptable.
if you refuse to blow into a breathalizer, the police can get a search warrant to draw your blood...in most cases, refuse all preliminary tests, take the breathalizer, dont answer any questions, be polite and fight it in court. if the officer cant establish that your impaired to the slightest degree, they cant charge you with a DUI. having alcohol in your system doesnt justify a DUI. i've seen guys walk out of jail above the state's BrAC legal limits without being charged for a DUI.
Here in IN when they arrest a DUI suspect b4 they take them to jail they take them 2 the nearest hospital which I happen to work at. The suspect is brought in to get something called "medical clearance" b4 they are hauled off 2 jail. At the hospital they are asked to submit to not only a breath test but a blood alcohol test as well.
You do not need a drivers license to travel anywhere in the us it is a birth right and protected by the constitution within the term "liberty". Many cases have ruled that liberty includes the right to travels with ones car freely without interference, as long as your not violating someones else s rights.
The term "motor vehicle" means every description of carriage or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of passengers, passengers and property, or property or cargo.
The term "used for commercial purposes" means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for Profit.
Great job!!! Next time you want to drive drunk, make sure your family is in the car with you so that you can put them in harms way the same way you are putting ours!!
So you refuse to take the roadside test... obviously they're going to try to get you to go back to the station and take that test... so if you refuse that, you lose your driver's license for a year. O.o that doesn't seem helpful.
Alcoholics are not usually the ones causing horrific accidents...it is usually the inexperienced drinker that hasn't learned their limit or how alcohol effects them after they have stopped drinking and drive home. they feel OK when they leave...not realizing they will experience more effects from their alcohol consumption beyond that point in time...even though they have stopped drinking.
Drunk people have no business putting me in danger as I walk on the sidewalk. The lawyer is an a-hole. These people shouldn't get away with drinking and driving. Why does he make money getting drunk drivers out of punishment?
@Sakamachi25 I think you're missing the point. This video is aimed at knowing your rights and what to do if you're pulled for....here's the key word, "suspicion" of drunk driving. This man did not mention anything about blood alcohol levels or "drunk people". And he makes money because he knows exactly what he's talking about as a defense attorney.
@Jam1053428 that guy that gets 5 DUI's cannot be stopped from driving he will drive no matter what they throw at him....guess you want check points everywhere so the poe-poe can get their power-lust satisfied...btw ur comment got removed you meanie
@jonesey5168 Cops have plenty of morons among their ranks who are scum bags as well. Why do you assume I'm all for cops? Doesn't change the fact that videos like this should not enable people to get away and possibly go on to kill a family of 5 driving drunk. It's simple common sense.
@Jam1053428 a video like this doesnt enable someone to drive drunk..it makes people aware of their rights when pulled over on a DUI stop...simple...sorry u dont like people getting an advantage in the Casino of life...
@jonesey5168 Driving is a privilege, not a right. Don't expect all the same rights law abiding citizens have when you're endangering other people's lives drunk on a DUI stop.
@Jam1053428 No one is a law abiding citizen. The cops know this. If you drive 1mph over the speed limit you are breaking the law. Will most cops write you a ticket for this? probably not.....but you just broke the law. Unless you have a robotic car with immaculate cruise control.....you have broken the law at least once in your life. Life is a privilege buddy, and so is posting on the comment section for this video.
@Jam1053428 guess you never heard of cops driving drunk(off duty of course) and being stopped by their blue mafia cohorts, then to be allowed to drive home and kill that van with 5 people....then taser them for good measure
@jonesey5168 "while were at it, lets take all the sleepy people off the road too, "
Forget what I said. Let's assume all are equally bad. The bottom line is I don't think we should have videos like this that enable people (drunks for example) to get away with it and then possibly go on and kill a family of 5 or themselves..etc
People have rights, but the don't have a right to kill other people unjustly. Driving is a privilege, not a gift/right.
This is not about the DUI its about your 5th amendment
NO PERSON SHALL BE HELD TO ANSWER FOR A CAPITAL, OR OTHERWISE CRIME, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; NOR SHALL BE COMPELLED IN ANY CRIMINAL CASE TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST HIMSELF, ...
This debate over DUI/DWI is nonsense. If people were truly concerned about people driving while drunk, there would not be bars all over the place. As "smart" as our politicians are today I'm sure they can come up will a way to allow people to drink but in a safe matter. Hell they found out a way to unload tons of cash to they banker friend while keeping majority of us happy with the idea. Government = Magic Shop; Politicians = Magicians; USA citizens = Astound kids. Put it together!!!
Someone like this guy should be jailed himself. Too many stupid drunk drivers on the road killing people or causing damage. Only a fool drives while drunk or drinking. Jail em all!
The tactic of not offering any 'roadside evidence' is nothing new. The only problem is this: The officer training in DUI detection can and will take you under arrest for refusing to take 'pre-breath screenings' when other manifestations of alcohol intoxication are present. Upon taking the state administered chemical test, the burden now falls on the defendant to prove innocence, based on prima facie evidence of intoxication, resulting from the chemical test.
One time I was pulled over for drunk driving and I really was drunk. I had sped up really fast behind a copped and slowed LOL.
The cop asked me had I been drinking and I said no. He said that he smells the aroma and I said nothing. I was fumbling my registration and when he asked me to take the test I said no. When he asked if I had any drinks at all I said no. Overall I was courteous and denied/did not give any extra info toward everything that the cop asked me. I got off with no problems.
"COP. 2. to steal; filch. 3. to buy (narcotics). 4. cop out, a. to avoid one's responsibility, the fulfillment of a promise, etc.; renege; back out. 5. cop a plea, a. to plead guilty or confess in return for receiving a lighter sentence. b. to plead guilty to a lesser charge; plea-bargain." Random House Unabridged Dictionary. "10% of cops are honest, 10% are dishonest, and 80% wish they were honest." Detective Frank Serpico NYPD, Knapp Commission
@ishurgrl I one time got arrested for dui when I was completely sober. I stupidly admitted to having a couple of drinks three hours earlier and the cop used that admission as probable cause to arrest. I blew a 0.000 at the station and I didn't get charged with anything, but I had to spend the night at the police station, walk two hours to the tow yard, and pay $140 for the tow. That's why it's important to know what to do when you're pulled over even if you're innocent.
best thing you can do is if you know your going to get busted for DUI is, GET A+OUT OF THE CAR IN VIEW IF THE COP CAM DRINK AS MANY BEERS AS YOU CAN. THE VID SAW YOU GET DRUNK OUTSIDE THE CAR AND THE WORSE YOU CAN GET IS DRUNK IN PUBLIC
Oh and another thing. Just to give you an example, to justify MADD's numbers better even if the driver never had a drink and the passenger is drunk and you get in an accident it's called an alcohol related accident. Driving DRUNK is one thing but having a few drinks and driving is another and cops don't separate the two, it's all about the numbers. This country is no longer free.
i hope all the cops that ruin life's for people who are not truly drunk and only had a couple of drinks burn and die. Founder of MADD quit because the organization became corrupt.
OK, Drinking and driving is wrong. Wrong also is that the state abuses this moral imperative and justifies inordinate financial penalties to pad their budget.
But more importantly, Cops are mostly horrible detestable people. You know how many cops I know of RIGHT now that are doing women under their wife's noses? I know cuz the women are my friends. I sit and read all the pathetic text massages come in from these uniformed douche bag bullies.
All bars should have a locker system where you put your car keys and can't get them back unless you breath a legal limit on the breathalyzer. It just makes sense. Sure, people will cheat the system, but it would at least help a bit. I'm so sick of cops waiting outside of the bar and pulling you over just because they saw you leave the bar. Than, on top of that, because they think your drunk, they treat you like an asshole, no matter how polite you are to them. Fucking smug pricks.
Given the dangers, texting while driving penalties should be much more severe than those for driving under the influence. To do otherwise is hypocritical.
Henry Gornbein, I am the individual who asked you in the restaurant if you were indeed the person conducting this interview of Mr. Patrick Barone. I just wanted to say that this was a quality interview!
And in either case, unless you're damn sure you can blow clean, and I mean totally clean, you are better off never blowing at all. Never offer evidence to police unless required by a warrant. Better an automatic suspension than a record.
Despite the fact that your driver's license can be suspended for a year under NO circumstance should anyone submit to a test. Ultimately your attorney will get your case thrown out and with an appeal of the suspension they usually give your license back. Best advice is to keep your mouth shut and refuse all tests. In my case they threw out my DUI and I got to keep my license. Screw those pigs! Me 1, Cops 0
yeah, now you're free to drive around drunk and maybe even kill some people. wow, mr douchebag managed to evade the law, i bet you have a high opinion of yourself. delusional drunks often do.
i know how not to get a dwi its the best way yet DONT DRINK AND DRIVE if u want to risk your own life go ahead but dont put everyone elses in danger in the process and by the way the police didnt lose your community lost they are the ones who have to be on the road with you.
You're a freakin' moron. The state considers you drunk if you have just one beer. Texting and talking on cell phones has been proven to be more dangerous than driving while what the state considers to be drunk. Just do the world a favor and shoot yourself in the face. We'd all be better without idiots like you polluting the gene pool.
@rwilli1228 screw those pigs? You were the one driving hammered risking other peoples' lives. I usually hate the cops but you were in the wrong this time.
@rwilli1228 In Florida refusal is also automatic grounds for a one-year suspension of your license. However, is not saying anything considered refusal?
@rwilli1228 hey good for you. A friend has a similar story. He refused, and actually went to hire a lawyer. One was incompetent, so I recommended a good one. He went to trial and won. The incompetent one wanted him to plead guilty. So he could attempt a deal. The one I recommended was very good, and for a little more money he got excellent representation.
Yes. You will most likley be arrested at that point. You then have an important decision to make. You can take the breath test at the station or refuse it. If you refuse it your case is most likley going to be dismissed if u get a lawyer, but u face an automatic suspension. If you think you will pass, take it, if not the dont.
Dont fucking talk to them- YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TALK TO ANY POLICE OFFICER and you ALWAYS HAVE A RIGHT FOR A LAWYER to be present. Otherwise - smile and leave.
If you're going to be immature and drink to feel "alive" and have a good time lol then do it at home. I hope cops start cracking down hardcore on all drunk drivers...get em off the streets.
It's really just plain stupidity. Don't drink drunk.
Although what he is saying is perfctly true, I would love to see if his view is the same if his child was mowed down by a drunk driver. I'm an English cop and although procedure needs to be followed to ensure fairness and integrity, slimeball lawyers and solicitors really think with their wallets before their morals.
drunk driving is extremely selfish, and it's stupid that some lawyers dedicate their lives to getting people out of it. driving impaired is putting other road users in a danger that they do not agree to or deserve, therefore, it is a horrible thing to do
Easy; If you drink dont drive home on your own. Have a friend or anyone else (safe) to take u home. Take a cab home if needbe. Just don't drink and drive.
(CNN) The driver of a pick-up truck involved in a wrong-way accident that killed a mother and four children will be charged with five counts of vehicular homicide upon his release from hospital, Toledo (Ohio) Police Chief Michael Navarro told CNN Monday.
Michael Gagnon, 24, was allegedly drunk when he sped north on the southbound side of Interstate 280 and hit a minivan carrying eight people — a mother, father, and their six children or stepchildren — said Toledo Fire Department
it amazes me how people talk about this topic of DUI without any frame of reference.
None of you spouting throw people in jail, have invented nor manufactured a breathalyzer machine and know how accurate it is. The science behind a breathalyzer machine is hokey at best. It doesn't even detect ethanol. You could have diabetes and it would read that you are well over the limit.
it doesn't detect ethanol at all. get your science straight before spouting nonsense and destroy people's rights
You must live in a fantasy land. Its called a preliminary breath test. A positive reading would then require further investigation. I have never ever ever heard of a false breatherliser reading resulting in a conviction. You need to understand that the effects of drink driving far outweigh your deluded view of peoples rights. Perhaps some evidence of the diabetes rubbish would help too.
Here, if you refuse either test, you are treated the same as if you had failed it.
The best way is to say that you consumed a drink within the last half hour, which would void the results. That gives you sobering up time. use this time to smoke as many cigarettes as possible, this might not disguise your breath, but it will calm you down.
In some states if you refuse a breath test out on the road. Your lost. Your license is revoked for one year. The police only needs a reason to stop you and that they suspect you have been drinking alcohol. they read you the implied consent. And if you refuse. You lose ! I see police driving down the road talking on their cell-phones. Where does it stop. Lets take radios out of vehicle so we don't get caught up singing and not paying attention to our driving.
get a lawyer and take it to the supreme court and do everyone in the state a favor. that is unconstitutional hands down.
but people are too afraid of the law to even challenge it. I guarantee someone would say "if you're innocent, why refuse" [ I always shake my head at that one ]
One day someone you know will be killed by a drunken driver and your attitude will change. Its a shame that in our society, a death is what it takes to wake people up. I never complain about random drug or alcohol testing because those that get caught are put off the road. A vigilentg police force is a responsible one and great for the communities welfare.
you think the police are here to "protect us"? Dude the DUI business is a multi billion dollar cash cow. Pull your head out of the sand and wake up. Go look overseas at their laws. America is one of the lowest DUI countries, but we have the highest rate of incarceration. Private prison industry is booming, in no small part to DUI.
Go somewhere else with that bleeding heart tale. Show me your numbers on fatalities, I'll show you mine on dollars. have a nice day
gee i dont know how about not drink driving, then you dont have to worry about this or hurting other people

if you refuse to blow into a breathalizer, the police can get a search warrant to draw your blood...in most cases, refuse all preliminary tests, take the breathalizer, dont answer any questions, be polite and fight it in court. if the officer cant establish that your impaired to the slightest degree, they cant charge you with a DUI. having alcohol in your system doesnt justify a DUI. i've seen guys walk out of jail above the state's BrAC legal limits without being charged for a DUI.

The tactic of not offering any 'roadside evidence' is nothing new. The only problem is this: The officer training in DUI detection can and will take you under arrest for refusing to take 'pre-breath screenings' when other manifestations of alcohol intoxication are present. Upon taking the state administered chemical test, the burden now falls on the defendant to prove innocence, based on prima facie evidence of intoxication, resulting from the chemical test.

One time I was pulled over for drunk driving and I really was drunk. I had sped up really fast behind a copped and slowed LOL.
The cop asked me had I been drinking and I said no. He said that he smells the aroma and I said nothing. I was fumbling my registration and when he asked me to take the test I said no. When he asked if I had any drinks at all I said no. Overall I was courteous and denied/did not give any extra info toward everything that the cop asked me. I got off with no problems.

@ishurgrl I one time got arrested for dui when I was completely sober.

I blew a 0.000 at the station and I didn't get charged with anything, but I had to spend the night at the police station, walk two hours to the tow yard, and pay $140 for the tow. That's why it's important to know what to do when you're pulled over even if you're innocent.

All bars should have a locker system where you put your car keys and can't get them back unless you breath a legal limit on the breathalyzer. It just makes sense. Sure, people will cheat the system, but it would at least help a bit. I'm so sick of cops waiting outside of the bar and pulling you over just because they saw you leave the bar. Than, on top of that, because they think your drunk, they treat you like an asshole, no matter how polite you are to them. Fucking smug pricks.

Despite the fact that your driver's license can be suspended for a year under NO circumstance should anyone submit to a test. Ultimately your attorney will get your case thrown out and with an appeal of the suspension they usually give your license back. Best advice is to keep your mouth shut and refuse all tests.

You must live in a fantasy land. Its called a preliminary breath test. A positive reading would then require further investigation.

In some states if you refuse a breath test out on the road. Your lost. Your license is revoked for one year.
