PRINTABLE VERSION
OFFICER,
I will provide my driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance.
I will sign a citation, if any, then I want to leave immediately.
I will not answer any questions without an attorney present.
I do not have to do "Field Sobriety Tests" and I refuse to do them.
I do not consent to or want to be recorded.
I do not consent to my person, car, or other property being searched.
If I am arrested I want an attorney now. I do not waive my rights.
If you want me to take a breath or blood test, I want to talk to my attorney, John Clark first.
CALL 509-926-4900 (24 hours)
If he cannot be reached, I want to talk to a public defender or some other attorney.
I will submit to a breath or blood test. If I am requested to take a breath or blood test I also want an additional legal blood test.
If I am not under arrest I want to leave. Please tell me so I may lock my car and walk away.
THANK YOU.
