What happens if police does not read Miranda rights in a DUI?

Anthony O. Van Johnson
Answered by attorney Anthony O. Van Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Anthony Overton Van Johnson Associates, P.C.
Police are not required to inform you of your Miranda rights when making a DUI arrest. They are; however, required to inform you of your "Implied Consent" rights.

What do I do if the arresting officer inputs a false police report?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
In 15 years of representing clients charged with Criminal offenses, I have had not more than a handful where the police report was the same as my client's explanation of events. The only thing that you can do about it is to take the case to trial and allow your lawyer to cross examine the officer. I tell my clients all the time that the police report is not important because it is what happened, it is important because it is what the police officer will testify to at trial. He really can't deviate from it since it was written shortly after the event and the trial typically takes place several months later, presumably when the officer's memory is not as fresh. The only things that matter to a judge and hopefully a jury are the elements of the offense. In an DUI, that would be Operation, Public Way and either .08% or greater on the breath Test (BT) or the observations of the officer in relation to your driving and your actions from the time he pulls you over. If you were not under the influence of alcohol, then there is no issue there. The positive test for THC in your system is an issue, but the prosecution will have to prove not only that you had it in your system, but that the amount that you had would be a problem in your ability to drive safely. This is a very difficult thing to do. There are no bright line standards with pot as to how much impair' s your ability to operate safely. With alcohol, everyone knows that .08% is the legal limit in MA. There is no such limit with pot. Even though it is illegal to smoke it, there is no scientific data as to how much impairs your ability to drive safely. It sounds like you have a very winnable case. However, it will take a good lawyer to achieve the desired outcome and there is never a guarantee of the results. If you don't already have a lawyer, get one. You will be very unlikely to win the case without a lawyer who knows what he is doing.
