There are some things you must say when you’re taken into custody. You are required to tell law enforcement officers your name when asked. If you want to remain silent, you must affirmatively state, “I do not want to talk.” The Supreme Court has held that suspects must invoke their right to remain silent verbally. If you want an attorney, you must say, “I want to talk to an attorney.” The police are not obligated to let you call your attorney right away or to provide one until your arraignment, but they cannot talk to you after you have requested one. Once you have invoked your right to remain silent, you cannot talk to the police about anything else without losing your right. It’s best to request a DUI lawyer immediately and then say nothing else until your arraignment.
