2. Asserting Your Rights Will Not Be Well Taken...
Today is Day 2 of our 10 day DUI series. If you read yesterday’s tip and put it into practice, you are going to quickly see that the police are not used to people exercising their rights and do not typically respond kindly. You should be prepared for this, and remain strong despite what may in the end amount to verbal harassment and threats. Always remember that you want to be cooperative to simple requests that ensure the officer’s safety, such as putting your hands behind your back, but at the same time you do not have to talk to them or perform any tests. In addition, if the pressure becomes too much simply ask to speak with an attorney, right then and there. This may not always get the police to stop their actions, but when you finally do speak with a Mississippi DUI lawyer, they will know how to address the police officer’s behavior. The take away lesson for today is: be ready for the police to react to your silence in a negative way and remember that no matter what they say, you are well within your rights to remain silent.
