Don't Let July 4th Festivities End Up With Your Arrest for DUI

Poolside barbeques, beach picnics and firework displays are all part of the American dream. Good friends, family times, and July 4th celebration are part of the American fabric and can lead to people partying and drinking alcohol, beer, or wine. Unfortunately, you never drink or drive but you have had one too many and decided to get behind the wheel of your car or truck this year and drove home.

Unbeknownst to you, the Orlando Police Department, Orange County Sheriff's Office, or Florida Highway Patrol may have all stepped up their DUI enforcement for the holidays and though a mix of road blocks, traffic stops, and accident investigation. You get pulled into their net and arrested for drunk driving or DUI. If you are caught in such a situation, a July 4th arrest for drunk driving or DUI can be a harrowing experience and land you in Osceola, Orange, or Seminole county jail.

If you find yourself in this situation, please get to know your rights. See if the police properly detained you and have a lawyer answer the following questions:

• Did the police have a right to stop you?
• Did the police have the right to ask you to perform field sobriety tests?
• Did the police have the right to take your driver's license?
• Did the police have the right to ask you to take a breath test?
• Did the police have the right to arrest you?
