Consider Using a Motorist's Rights Card

Some lawyers advocate carrying a "rights card" to hand to a LEO upon a DUI stop. The intent of the practice is to allow the card to do the talking for you, properly asserting all your rights without giving the LEO evidence of your speech and demeanor.

These cards are dangerous if written with the purpose of avoiding a DUI. Imagine the impact on a jury of learning that before you went drinking that night you made sure you had your "How To Beat a DUI" card with you.

These cards can be effective if they simply state your assertion of your rights and make it clear you will not answer any questions.
