Demanding Your Rights as a Sober Drinker

http://www.sbdui.com/ddr04.php

The most damaging evidence in a DUI case is usually that provided by the citizen who is afraid to exercise his right to say no to a police officer.

Perhaps the most difficult part of American citizenship is learning to assert the rights that our Constitution guarantees. The Constitution is a passive document—it only works when we stand up and shout its name.

And shout we must, for two paramount reasons. First, we owe a debt to honor the memory of the men and women who died to ensure that we enjoy the freedom we have today. And second, we will lose our freedoms if we do not stand up to protect them.

Things Change When You're Accused
There was no one left to protest when they came for me.

The problem is compounded in DUI cases because the citizens accused of it are almost always law-abiding, tax-paying citizens. These citizens have been trained to think of police officers as their friends—the public servants who keep their homes safe at night.

While LEOs are undoubtedly the citizen's friend, the relationship changes when the blue lights go on behind your car. Your friendly public servant has just set into motion the process that will aim the guns of society at you. And no matter what that officer says to you, you have to remember that it is her job to use whatever deception is necessary to get the evidence to convict you.
You are not being asked for information to help the officer determine whether or not you are sober!
You are being asked to provide evidence against yourself that the officer can use in court later!
yes... by all means demand your rights as a sober drinking drunk driver!!!
