Knowing New Jersey DUI and DWI Regulations

If NJ police officers pull a vehicle over and has reason to believe the driver has been consuming alcohol, he or she must participate in a field sobriety test if it is requested by an officer. If an officer has reasonable cause, an officer may ask the driver to take the Alcotest®, which is non-negotiable.

Standardized Field Sobriety Testing
Police are authorized to use the standardized field sobriety test (SFST) on people suspected of drunken driving or of having other substance-related impairments. These tests are only trustworthy if officers follow the exact, standardized method of conducting it.

Breath Test Refusal
Have you
refused to take a breath test in NJ? Refusal charges are many times more harsh than driving while intoxicated. According to the implied consent laws of NJ, you may not refuse a breath test if it is requested of you by law enforcement and they have already made a case for probable cause.
Officers needs to have probable cause in order to ask people to participate in a breath or blood test. Your Villani & DeLuca DWI lawyer will be able to show whether probable cause was in fact established and whether a medical issue prohibited you from participating in a breath test.
DWI Checkpoints
You may be questioned after being pulled over by law enforcement at a DWI checkpoint. Although officers can ask you a variety of things, you would not have to answer anything beyond basic information. Also, your trunk should not be searched without a warrant.
The way an officer behaved at a DWI checkpoint may be part of your defense during a trial. A conviction will occur if the police officer was not acting in accordance with the law.
