Remember, if, or maybe I should say when, you get pulled over and have had anything to drink, keep in mind that everything you say can and WILL be used against you. This applies to to your responses to the ever famous questions such as :
“Have you been drinking tonight?”
” Where you coming from?”
But, it also includes the friendly sounding officers “making conversation” with comments such as:
” Oh, just having a few after work? How long you been there? Yeah, a long day at work- I hear ya! I am sure your fine but if you will just step on out of the car for me, I am going to get you to perform some tasks to be sure you are okay to drive.”
That officer is trying to get you to make statements to help his case and if you do, I can bet you it will be in the police reports when you get to court. Therefore, keep in mind that you have the right to remain silent and think about exercising that right. Remember, the State has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt you were over the legal limit and the last thing you want to do is say something that helps them.
