- Traffic ViolationsThe Arrest: A DUI stop and arrest most often occurs when a police officer observes a traffic violation, but can also occur at sobriety checkpoints. An officer is required to follow certain rules during the stop and arrest process, including having a substantial reason to conduct a DUI investigation, and reading the driver Miranda rights (which include the right to remain silent and speak to an attorney). A chemical blood / breath alcohol concentration (BAC) test will be a part of this stage as well. The testing may be done at a mobile BAC station, police station, or hospital. If a driver does not consent to BAC testing, the officer may obtain a search warrant by which to forcibly obtain a bodily fluid sample.
