In this episode, attorney John Henderson breaks down five key mistakes people make during a DUI stop—mistakes that police are counting on to strengthen their case against you. If you get pulled over in South Carolina, what you say and do in those critical moments can have serious legal consequences. Understanding your rights could mean the difference between a conviction and a dismissed charge.
Many drivers don’t realize that DUI roadside tests, like walking in a straight line or standing on one leg, aren’t as straightforward as they seem. Officers are trained to gather evidence against you, and even sober drivers can fail these tests due to factors like nerves, medical conditions, or uneven pavement. Knowing when to comply, refuse, or remain silent can significantly impact your case.
Learn more about breathalyzer tests, field sobriety exams, and common tactics police use to get you to incriminate yourself. If you drive in South Carolina, this episode is a must-listen to stay informed and prepared in case you ever get pulled over.
