THE DWI ARREST IN STATEN ISLAND

 

If you have been arrested for a dwi in Staten Island, the agency that most likely arrested you is the NYPD. You will be brought to a testing center for a IDTU test and be asked to take a breathalyzer. This can be a real problem. The law gives great weight to a breath test and you should contact an attorney before you take one.

 

What the police will not tell you is that you have the right to refuse any questions and the breathalyzer test. If you refuse the test, the DMV will hold a hearing on wether you should have your license suspended for one year. In addition, at the police officer's discretion, the NYPD may take your vehicle and try to sell it and keep the monies recovered.

 

You will then be brought before a judge and he will determine if bail is needed. Most DWI defendants do not need bail. If you or a loved one has been arrested for a DWI, contact The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, Esq. at 917-519-8417.
