The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution is the part of the Constitution which protects many of your rights when you go to trial. The Sixth Amendement guaranteess the right to a fair trial no matter what crime you are charged with. The Sixth Amendment applies equally to a DUI charge.
You have a number of important rights guaranteed under the Sixth Amendment including: the right to be tried by an impartial jury, the right to be informed of the nature of the charges against you, the right to confront the witnesses against you, and IMPORTANTLYthe right to a lawyer.
A quick and easy way to assert your Sixth Amendement right is to ask for a lawyer. Generally speaking, I always recommend when questioned by a police officer during a traffic stop, a DUI arrest or any other criminal charge, to ask for a laywer. Remember, you have a right to be represented by a lawyer. If the police continue to question you otherwise, your statements are can be protected.
Protect your rights, ask for a lawyer.
