NATIONAL
National structure only. Offense elements, testing rules, and implied-consent language come from your state's law.
Implied-consent wording and refusal consequences are state-specific. Read your state's exact advisory; do not substitute the general steps below for it.
Stop Articulate the lawful basis for the stop (observed violation or reasonable suspicion) and note time, location type, and conditions — no report details in this app. Approach and observe: manner of driving, stop behavior, odor, speech, eyes, and admissions, recorded factually. Observation / roadside Separate the driver from passengers where appropriate and safe. Administer standardized field sobriety tests only as trained, on a suitable surface, and document conditions and each clue factually. Preliminary breath testing only where your state law and agency policy allow it. Arrest sequence Probable cause stated in articulable facts before arrest. Miranda warnings before custodial interrogation. Implied consent: read your state's advisory verbatim, document the response and the time. Chemical testing, observation periods, and evidence handling strictly per state law and agency policy. Reset
