Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

When getting arrested for a DUI, do you have to be read your miranda rights?

Answered by attorney Joseph A Katz (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Joseph A. Katz Attorney at Law PLC
DUI "investigatory detentions' are one of the District Attorney's favorite legal fictions, but have been held not to violate Miranda. The should not stop Attorneys from filing In Limine motions to exclude any admissions or confessions taken in violation of Miranda pursuant to Evidence Code section 402 hearings. You do not have to be read your Miranda rights if you are not questioned. Even then, the remedy for a Miranda violation turns on the question of the admissibility of the evidence. The best practice is to politely decline to answer questions during a DUI stop and investigation, and refuse to participate in any Field Sobriety Testing. Do not let an officer waive a flashlight in your eyes for a second, so that he or she can then say that you exhibited 'horizontal gaze nystagmus'. You must, however, pursuant to California's 'Implied Consent' law, submit to blood or breath (used to include urine) sample testing up reasonable suspicion by law enforcement that you were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

I recently received a DUI on the 17th of this month, am I required to notify the DMV of it?

Additional information is needed to accurately answer this question. With that being said, I am assuming that at the time of your arrest, your license was taken by the arresting officer and you were given a pink paper, which is a temporary license and which will expire in 30 days from the date of your arrest, at which time you driving privileges will be suspended. If you wish to dispute the license suspension, you or your attorney, must contact DMV within 10 days from the date you received the temporary license (pink paper) and request an Admin Per se hearing. If you fail to request the hearing within the 10 days, you will lose your right to a hearing. Please note that this is in addition to any court appearance date given to you when you were cited.
