If you have been pulled over for any reason, the police officer will be alert to any sign that you have been drinking. If they see any container, even old ones in the rear seat, they may suspect that you have been drinking. They will notice that your eyes are glassy and red. They will also be able to smell alcohol on your breath. There is no breath mint or home remedy that can stop the odor of any alcohol. It may be a minty fresh spearmint alcohol smell, but it is alcohol none the less. The officer will also look for slow reaction time and slurred speech. If you are asked to exit the vehicle, the officer will note any difficulty walking or general lack of coordination. At this point you may be asked to perform several challenges to determine your ability to operate a motor vehicle. And finally, you may be asked to perform a blood alcohol test. All of this information will be used by the state to make their case. The information contained in this message is general and should not substitute for the advice and counsel of a licensed attorney.
