What to do when stopped for DWI in NJ
What are you obligated to do
- Provide your Driver’s License and other Credentials to the police upon request.
- Submit to chemical testing of samples of your breath.
It is vital that you are aware that you must submit to chemical testing of samples of your breath which will be accomplished using the Draeger Alcotest® 7110 MKIII-CA. You do not have the right to refuse to take the “breathalyzer” or to consult with an attorney beforehand in New Jersey. When you applied for your New Jersey Driver’s License you consented to taking the “breathalyzer”. If you give anything at all less than an emphatic “Yes” to the question, “Will you submit?” you will be charged with Refusal to Submit which is a separate offense from DWI but it carries more severe penalties for first offenders and identical penalties for subsequent offenders.
What you are not obligated to do
-
Field Sobriety Tests of any kind including:
- Reciting the alphabet or ABC’s
- The “Walk and Turn” test (9 steps along a straight line and back).
- The “One Leg Stand” test (holding one leg out at an angle and counting to 30).
- The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test – where the officer looks at your eyes while moving his finger or a pen back and forth in front of them.
- any other test aside from the “breathalyzer”
- provide samples of your blood or urine.
- Provide any information to the police including: how much you had to drink, where you coming from or going to.
The only test that you are required under New Jersey Law to submit to during a DWI stop is the “breathalyzer”. The less you evidence and information you provide to the police the easier it will be to defend you in court. Give me a call if your in trouble.
