An attorney in Florida – and former candidate for NY Governor – has posted his method for avoiding getting arrested at DUI checkpoints (which are legal). It’s called the “talk to the hand coz the face don’t wanna talk no mo” method.
Essentially, he says to hang a clear plastic holder over the side of the window with all the pertinent information in it.
Attached to the door is a flyer that Redlich says spells out his rights: I WILL REMAIN SILENT/I WANT MY LAWYER/NO SEARCHES, it begins. The flyer also contains his valid registration and insurance information along with a clear pocket for his driver’s license.
Redlich says it is important not to open the window, because then the police can say they smell alcohol or drugs. He also says it’s important to remain silent, because otherwise the police can claim your speech is slurred. Even if you’re innocent, Redlich says, it makes it more difficult for an attorney to mount a defense at a trial.
He also made a video to explain to those of you who might be drunk while reading this:
He has a website where you can download flyers for your own state – they’re state specific – and try this at your own risk. I present this merely for entertainment purposes. If you want to try it that’s on you. You may end up getting arrested anyway. Remember, if you do get arrested, demand a lawyer.
