Should Someone Ever Admit To Using Drugs In A DWI Drug Traffic Stop?

Legal Implications Of Admitting Drug Use During A DWI Stop

The most important thing is to not answer any questions. So yes, it is important for the person not to admit use of any drugs, controlled substance, medicine, prescribed, or otherwise, as that will be evidence used against them to prolong the detention, and possibly start an investigation that may lead to an arrest. Nevertheless, if they refuse to answer questions, and they do not volunteer that they have taken any medications, drugs, or anything else, then that cannot be used against them. That will not give the police any more evidence to detain, or arrest them.
