Miranda Rights and DUI are things that should go together. The problem is that the Miranda Rights don’t actually have to be read when you are pulled over. Due to popular misconception, the Miranda Rights don’t actually happen when the arrest happens. The two conditions that must be met in order for a police to “have to” give the Miranda Rights speech is when you. 1. Are UNDER ARREST and 2. when the officer does an interrogation. When the police does an investigation when they pull you over during a DUI, then there is actually no reason for the police to give the speech. This is due to them not actually putting you under arrest yet. What they are doing is conducting an investigation to determine whether or not an arrest is necessary. That is why during a DUI investigation, police officers don’t give the speech. However during this investigation you are allowed ( and is actually advised) to remain silent. Politely refuse to answer the questions.
