The Santa Barbara DUI Arrest

Protect Your Rights By Knowing What to Expect

It is a vast understatement to say that getting arrested is terrible ordeal; rarely is the law-abiding citizen prepared for what awaits her when pulled over after having a drink. Law enforcement counts on your natural disorientation and fear to help make the case against you. In fact, they are trained to use every factor in an arrest against you to try to prove you guilty.

We at the Santa Barbara DUI Center believe the more our citizens know about the arrest process, the better they will be to assert their rights, protect their freedom and preserve all of our civil liberties. We have prepared these pages to detail the arrest in Santa Barbara, step by step, with photographs and example documents. We have tried faithfully to recreate the arrest scenario so that, God forbid, if it ever happens to you, you will know what to expect, what to do and what not to do to protect your rights.
