Facing criminal charges in the State of Georgia can be one of the most stressful events in a person's life. For some who are arrested, the stress and the sleeplessness can seem to be even worse than their stress and insomnia after losing a loved one. This is because they learn that DUI charges in the Peach State call for jail time, even for a 1st offence DUI.

Many individuals tried to perform the officers' OPTIONAL field sobriety tests, unaware of the CRUCIAL DETAILS presented in this video about their LEGAL RIGHTS during any roadside police interaction. This same gap in understanding of "what to do?" was evident when the officer handcuffed them and recited information from a green-colored card requesting a post-arrest breath testing or a blood test to check for alcohol or drugs in the driver's bloodstream.
