Attorney Marc Lopez explores how Indiana law handles DUI refusals, from the initial traffic stop to the potential suspension of your driver's license. You'll learn what constitutes probable cause for an officer to request this test, and why refusing might lead to even more severe penalties than taking the test itself.

2. What constitutes probable cause for a DUI test request.
3. The process and ease of obtaining a search warrant for your blood in Indiana.
4. The automatic suspension of your driver's license for refusing the test, and how it affects your driving privileges.
5. The difference in consequences if you have prior DUI offenses.
6. The challenges of restoring driving privileges after a refusal and how our law firm approaches these cases.
7. Refusing a chemical test in Indiana is a decision that carries heavy consequences, and it’s crucial to understand all the risks involved.

    So basically if they are detained (not free to leave), and an officer starts asking questions, that officer needs to read Miranda warnings?

    • @AttorneyMarcLopez
      @AttorneyMarcLopez Před 17 dny

      It is not as cut and dry as that. The only thing that is cut and dry is if an officer asks questions, the only response should be "Am I free to leave?" If they say anything other than "Yes" Then "I plead the 5th" is the only appropriate response. If they insist on identification hand over a drivers license. And continue to state, "I plead the fifth."

      This issue has not been decided by the Indiana Courts. But I would argue you do not have to provide any ID as there was no traffic violation or ordinance violation committed (Indiana’s Refusal to Identify requires ID if there is an infraction or ordinance violation)

      Hi Marc. So, let’s say someone’s getting beaten up outside and they were not the aggressor, but someone came up to them randomly and punched them in the head. Then, continued swinging at them. Does the person being assaulted at this time, have the right to use a firearm and shoot their attacker? Even though their attacker is only using their fists? Because, eventually you can get knocked out from being punched repeatedly.
