bruce nassar Never smoke weed. Instead drink ovaltine made with pot and eat pot brownies. Also, make cigarettes out of dried manure and light one up in front of the cop and tell him you like to smoke funny cigarettes.

Another bit of good advice. Only roll the windows down far enough to talk through and pass papers through. If asked to step out of the car then do so. But immediately after you put both feet on the ground lock and close the doors and put you keys in your pocket. This prevents the police from doing an unlawful search of your vehicle. If they demand your keys or tell you to open the vehicle, tell them this exactly "I'm very sorry sir, but I don't consent to a search." If they force a search anyway you can get off on a technicality. In order to search your private property they must have a search warrant with a judge's signature. Without that they just violated your rights and wasted their time. At which point they leave themselves open to a lawsuit.

Actually if you watch Law and Order you would mention that police can search your car without a search warrant if they have “probable cause “. Let’s say you have open liquor containers in plain view, money from a bank robbery in plain view, a person in the trunk who is kicking and screaming for help or something else that is obvious.

J whome It doesn't matter if it was only one drink, if a cop sees you drift over a line while you're lighting a cigarette or changing the radio station or bump a curb making a right turn or any other little thing and you've had alcohol, you can be charged with DUI. You can nit pick all you want with your "what ifs" but those are the facts. And in some states, you can be charged with a DUI even if you are under the legal limit. Over the limit would be a DWI. You can be under the influence of alcohol but not legally intoxicated, hence the two different charges. You're sitting in front of the pretty much the sum of mankind's knowledge, if you don't believe me, GOOGLE IT!

I think the concern they are addressing here is if someone has a small glass of wine at dinner--or something to that effect--and are pulled over--for any particular reason--and the officer asks that question. While the driver did have some wine at dinner, they are obviously nowhere near the limit and in no way impaired. But it's a catch-22 if they answer that question.

Your admission to most any question like when they ask "do you know why I pulled you over'? Once you say yes... basically you've plead guilty !

The problem is, if you've been drinking enough, you're going to tell them.

When I drink, I do like 85 MPH in a 55. When I smoke pot, i do 45 in a 70 MPH zone. So whenever i drink, i make sure to smoke a joint, then i drive the speed limit.... : >)

Just say no. Have you been drinking is a very vague question. Did he mean while I was driving? Or the last 2 hours. Or today. Or this month. Or this year?

What about if they ask you to get out of the car do you have to comply?

I don't recall.

My response to a cop asking that question: "i just drank a glass ofilk at home". Which got a smile from him.

So what’s the answer?

No.

Has anyone ever beed convicted for lying in those circumstance? My guess is no...

If the officer asked the question by who? Then what will be the driver response?

I don’t answer questions is all I ever say.

In Michigan, if you operate a vehicle on roadways, highways or interstates, you have automatically consented (or given permission) to being tested through chemical means if you are arrested for a drunk driving offense. The first implied consent law was passed in Michigan in 1970; prior to this law motorists could refuse to take chemical tests (breath, blood, urine) requested by an arresting police officer, but it essentially meant forfeiting the privilege to drive on the roadways in the state where the individual refused testing

Just say no

But by saying that I've been advised not to answer your questions to the officer, does that mean that I'm still not going to end up getting a DUI is there a loophole do I need to be filming this on my phone while I'm saying this stuff let me know thanks

Nothing neutralizes police questioning like straight silence. A little uncomfortable at first, but they get it very quickly. Then you start asking the questions they have to answer.

When the cop asked me if I had been drinking at the DUI check point, he was sniffing obviously when I spoke. Isn't that all the probable cause he needs, is smell of alcohol on my breath even if I say what is in this video?

I think the cop will see through that. They're a shrewd bunch, they know that if I hadn't been drinking I'd probably just say "no".

The problem with this is that you can't reject the breathalyzer or foot tests without getting arrested either way. I feel like there's no way out of that situation

A true lawyer would argue that “drinking” is a very vague word. Drinking water, milk, alcohol? Drinking tonight? Its 1 am, you drank 2 hours ago, technically day ago at this point. Those lawyers are part of the same DUI money making scheme. They only settle, rarely go to trial, because it actually requires them to do work. If you end up blowing over the limit, lying to officer about not drinking will not be a charge in your case. It will be a DUI.
