Drunk Driving Lawyers

Q.When I catch a drunk driver, time and time again the offender tells me that their Lawyer advised them not to do any Field Sobriety Test, Do not give a sample of their breath or blood, and invoke your rights and remain silent. Now I know that the Lawyers are suppose to be on the clients side and not the Officers side when it comes down to trial, but would it not be better for everyone, Client, Officer, Public, if the Lawyer told the client "Don't Drink & Drive?"

A.I am not an attorney, but I do know that my lieutenant at one point asked me if we should arrest an attorney who advised their client to take no tests for "obstruct official duty." I knew we'd never get away with it because after all, the black robed guy on the bench is probably a fraternity brother for the lawyer, but it was a tempting idea. So, no they won't say "don't drink and drive" because it's BAD FOR BUSINESS! Most states have a clause that includes refusing to take the test.Calling for a lawyer to come in and representing finally starts wastes time that allows the alcohol level to be reduced from the initial stop time.I hour for each drink means a reduced reading when it is finally taken--then it is not DWI it is impaired driving or even less. I wonder how the lawyer would feel if that same drunk killed his wife, child, or another family member. ??? Don't you video stops from the car???Voice recordings and video have been a big help.
