Unless passed-out, most people who are intoxicated can’t help but running their mouths.

…Or that you weren’t weaving or speeding or showing any signs of intoxication. They just watched you leave a parking lot and that’s their weak, nonexistent justification. The police need to focus on violent crime and repeat offenders of such and move away from the profiteering.

Great advice! Good Lawyers are worth their weight in gold!

All this guy is saying once you ask for a lawyer, they are not allowed to report any of their interpretation against you (at least within his State). Even if you do not drink at all, they are still allowed to include in their report that you looked as if you were drunk. Guys, listen to the lawyers.

Nervousness is a natural reaction when pulled over by todays police.

Excellent response....

Excellent sharp intake of breath! Great reading.

Tell them to …. …!

Every single lawyer here on youtube gives excellent advice to invoke the 5th and stay silent. The cops don't care. They will make you step out of the vehicle for you when handcuffs and take you down to the station violating your constitutional rights.

Or just be an adult and dont drink and drive....its that simple

@@thud9797 Nope. The 5th amendment prohibits the government from forcing you to incriminate yourself, so you never have to participate in a field sobriety test.

Easy - Nope - not since August, 1985. Oh by the way, that is the last question I will answer as I am invoking my right to remain silent under the 5th amendment.

I see three problems with your response. First even if the traffic stop occurs during normal business hours do you really think the police are going to wait around for you to look up a lawyer, call him or her, and expect the lawyer to show up at the traffic stop? (Perhaps you meant to refuse to answer questions until obtaining a lawyer but your presentation made it appear you advise a suspect to call a lawyer from the traffic stop and expect him or her to show up there. Of course no lawyer would do so - and even if any would no cop would stand around waiting for them.) Second you never mentioned the obvious solution - don't drive after drinking in the first place. Third at the end you provided your contact information (just as in a previous similar video I watched by another lawyer) so this video was just an advertisement for your services. Edit: Just to demonstrate my first objection isn't frivolous I have seen countless KZread videos in which DUI suspects have told police "I want a lawyer" - as if a lawyer is going to show up at the traffic stop. Clearly it is a delay and obstruction tactic since I have to wonder if these suspects are really naive enough to believe a lawyer will come to the traffic stop - especially if it is 2:00 A.M.

When the question arises “have you been drinking” should the correct way to answer be “ I plead the 5th, am I free to go”?

Years back some very young cop tried to get me for DUI. My BAL was less than zero if that is possible. He was ranting about strong smell of alcohol for the body cam. He asked how much I had to drink. Zero. Then he asked again and got the same answer. He warned me about lying to a cop. He asked how he could smell the strong smell of alcohol. My answer was how the hell should i know. That pissed him off because he figured he could trap me He ordered me out of the car. I said fine I'll blow. His answer was no you have to do things my way. So we spent the next hour doing his bullshit tests. Finally he admitted i was not intoxicated. He was not a happy camper at this point. Guess his dream of becoming a detective was quashed. Normally i wish everyone well in general. However not so in his case.

@brucea9871

I thought it ironic that he warned you about lying to a cop while it is perfectly fine for a cop to lie to a suspect. For example in another KZread video I watched of a murder investigation the police lied to a suspect they were interrogating, claiming his DNA was found on the victim's body. It was a ploy to try to get more information from him. From what I remember the suspect wasn't the murderer but he knew more about it than he had so far revealed (he claimed he knew nothing about it but I think he knew who the murderer was and the circumstances). According to the narrator the police are allowed to lie to suspects - but then as in your experience they warn us about lying to them (indeed I have heard of people who lie to police being charged with misleading police). Edit: You mentioned he asked you a second time how much you had to drink. I would have told him he already asked me that and I already answered him. I would then be tempted to ask if he had a very short memory or a hearing problem. It is reminiscent of KZread videos in which suspects repeatedly ask police the same question over and over again ("Why am I being arrested?") even though the police already answered them. Now it is the police doing it. And when he asked why he detected a strong smell of alcohol (even though you hadn't been drinking) I would say for one of three reasons: 1) the cop is lying, which is the most likely reason (as I said cops are allowed to lie in an attempt to get suspects to incriminate themselves); 2) the cop has a smelling problem (he smells things that don't exist); 3) maybe the cop has been drinking.

What about when they say "I smell alcohol". How I would i respond to this? or do I even need to respond?

Well, you talked so I smelled the alcohol on your breath.

Well in aftermath of a cop stopping you and asking if you have been drinking,, I don't see anything wrong with just saying a quick "No and Hell NO,, I have not been drinking!" Now "hopefully" you will NOT have a half empty/(half full) quart bottle of beer in your hand,,, (and quite visible) when a cop stops you per traffic stop and then asks you that question. Otherwise,, the cop would have you "dead to rights" with the clear evidence,, therefore he would not even need to ask you "if you've been drinking". No need for you to say anything,, as he (the cop) would promptly pursue the "arrest procedures" on you,, asking you to step outside and put your hands behind your back,, followed by his reading your Miranda Rights. In such a scenario,, you can insert your 5th Amendment Right all you want,, (and request your lawyer) it's just that you would still end up in the slammer,,, and quickly.
