The decision of whether or not to accuse you of DUI if you drink and drive in Las Cruces, New Mexico would be influenced by many factors, including your behavior. Anything you do or say from the very first moment that the police officer sees your vehicle would be used and construed against you in court. If you have consumed some alcohol, you would most likely be arrested, regardless of what you do or do not do.

Regardless, do not give up hope and you have to submit to everything the police officer tells you to do. Keep in mind that you have to politely protect your rights against self incrimination. Do not pay attention if the police officer threatens that “you would spend the night in jail if you do not cooperate.” That would most probably happen anyways. The police officer just wants to pressure you into giving him evidence that can be used against you. Do not ever make the police officer’s job easier than you have to.
