Pulled over for DUI, Should I request and attorney?

If at any point during a police encounter you feel you may say something that may incriminate you, you should request an attorney. In a normal DUI stop, a police officer will attempt to gather evidence against you. For instance, he will ask you whether you have been drinking, how much you have drank and so forth. If the officer has a reasonable belief you are driving under the influence, he will ask you to take a test to measure blood alcohol. Remember, an officer's job is to gather evidence against you in the case that he arrests you. Officers are trained at getting you to say things, some of which you might not even mean or may be based on misunderstaning. By politely requesting an attorney you ensure that you dont say something that may incriminate you and can help ensure your rights are properly protected.
