If you are stopped and suspected of driving high:

  • Remain Calm and Polite: Cooperate with the officer’s requests (e.g., providing your license and registration).
  • You Have the Right to Remain Silent: You are not obligated to answer questions beyond basic identification. Politely state that you wish to remain silent.
  • Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) are Voluntary: You can refuse to participate in roadside field sobriety tests. This refusal cannot be used against you in court, although the initial stop and observations can still be factors.
  • Implied Consent: Michigan has an implied consent law, meaning by driving on public roads, you’ve consented to chemical tests (blood, breath, or urine) if lawfully arrested for a suspected OWI. Refusal to submit to a chemical test after a lawful arrest can lead to immediate driver’s license suspension, even if you are not ultimately convicted of OWI.
  • Document Everything: If possible, note the time, location, officers involved, and any details about the stop.
  • If Arrested, Do Not Resist: Comply with the arrest procedures. If you do resist you need to call us ASAP.
