Your
Legal Rights in Colorado : DUI Arrest

I
was arrested for a DUI but the police officer never read me
my rights. Will the case be dismissed?
Usually,
the answer is no. Police are only required to read you Miranda
warnings if you are placed into custody and then questioned.
Do
I have to do roadside maneuvers like touching my nose or walking
a line?
No you
don't. Those roadside maneuvers as they are called by police
are voluntary. You have every right to decline to participate.
Do
I have to take a blood or breath test?
No you
don't. However, if you refuse to take a chemical test your
license is likely to be revoked for 1 year. If you take the
test and your result is too high your license is likely to
be revoked for 90 days on first offenses.
