Be Patient While Recording DUI Statement »
USE THIS RIGHT! DO NOT GIVE EXTRA INFORMATION WHICH CAN BE PUT AGAINST YOU! It is wise to refrain from replying any question or telling things that doesn’t relate to your personal identity like name, date of birth, address or your car registration, car insurance, and driving license because this is the only information which law demands from you to give to detaining police officers or to authorities involved in your arrest, chemical examination, or imprisonment.
Yes, California laws DO demand from you to provide identification, verify your present address, and show the documents like your vehicle registration, car insurance, and license…but not anything beyond IT!
Use your right to keep silent because anything you state except what has been asked by law can inevitably be taken against you as evidence if you’re charged with DUI. The little you speak, the better it is.
