The Three Most Important Things To Do After A DUI Stop

If you are stopped for driving under the influence during the Labor Day DUI crackdown, remain calm. Being charged with DUI does not mean you are guilty. You have the right to retain legal counsel to fight your DUI charge.

After you are released from police custody, write down everything you remember. Nothing is too insignificant. The smallest detail could be very important for your legal defense. Write down when and where you were stopped; the reason the officer gave you for pulling you over; whether you took a breath test and the details about the breath test; and, if there were any eyewitnesses. We tend to forget things as time passes; therefore, write down the details of your DUI stop as soon as possible while it is fresh on your mind.

In your online social media accounts are not set at the highest privacy setting, change the settings immediately. All of your accounts should have the highest privacy setting possible.  Do NOT discuss your DUI arrest online. Prosecutors may search for online content to use against you at your trial. Anything you say online could be used as evidence in your DUI trial.
