Dunellen DWI Charges

In New Jersey, anyone operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more is guilty of driving while intoxicated. N.J.S.A. § 39:4-50. Dunellen police officers are well trained at spotting drivers under the influence. Therefore, if you are pulled over after consuming any amount of alcohol, it is important to be aware of your rights. Anything you say or do can be used against you in court to prove you were under the influence. Upon request, you must provide police with your license, registration, and insurance information. However, if you are asked about how much you’ve had to drink, unless you are certain you have no alcohol in your system; it is wise to politely decline answering until after you have consulted with a lawyer.

If the officer smells alcohol on your breath, however, you may be asked to participate in a field sobriety test. You may decline the test; however, this is generally perceived as strong evidence of your guilt. If you participate in the field sobriety test and the officer believes you are under the influence, you may then be required to undertake a Breathalyzer Test at the Dunellen police station. In New Jersey, a driver may not refuse a Breathalyzer Test without severe consequences.
