Labor Day Task Force Nets Nearly 1,000 DUI Arrests
The multi-agency DUI task force operating in Phoenix and the East Valley has made nearly 1,000 arrests through September 5. 315 of the arrests are reported to be for Extreme DUI and 106 for Underage DUI or Underage Drinking and Driving. The task force will end tomorrow. Of course you should always drink responsibly and you should never drive if you are impaired by alcohol. But if you are ever questioned by a police officer who suspects you of driving while impaired, it is important that you protect your rights. The ONLY information that you should provide the police before consulting an attorney is your name and state issued identification, registration and proof of insurance. DO NOT voluntarily submit to any tests UNTIL you have been given the opportunity to call your attorney. If you are being investigated for possible DUI tell the police the following:
1) I DO NOT want to answer any questions or speak with you without my attorney present.
2) I DO NOT want to take ANY tests UNTIL I have had an opportunity to call my attorney for legal advice. EMPHASIZE: I am not refusing the tests, I just want to consult my attorney FIRST.
3) I WILL NOT consent to a search of my person, my car, my home, or my property.

The findings come as Michigan plans to parole 3,000 more felons this year than in previous years to curb rising prison costs.
The study by the nonprofit Citizens Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending followed for four years 76,721 Michigan prisoners released for the first time between 1986 and 1999 to determine whether they came back to prison for a new crime or parole violation.
