DUI in Idaho
What To Do
In the state of Idaho, you may be stopped by the police and asked to pull over based upon what is referred to as “probable cause.” This means the officer suspects that you are driving while intoxicated based on behaviors such as swerving, erratic driving, or driving without signaling. They may also pull you over is there is something visibly wrong with your vehicle, such as a broken headlight or windshield.
Once pulled over, the officer may determine you have a few signs of intoxication and can perform a road side sobriety test. Whether you take a breath test after this or not, an officer can determine if there is probably cause of driving intoxicated and move forward with an arrest.
You can refuse to take a blood-alcohol breathalyzer test, should the officer request one, however, you will lose your license for a year with no restricted license privileges. The level of your blood alcohol can help determine legal presumption of intoxication as well as contribute to a more serious charge in some cases.
