Q: What do I do if I am stopped by a police officer in Arizona for possible DUI?
1. DO hand the police officer your license, registration, and insurance.
DO quietly exit the vehicle if requested by the police officer.
If you refuse to exit the vehicle you can be charged with the crime of failing to obey a lawful police order.
The case law is clear that you must exit your vehicle if ordered to do so.
If someone tells you that you should refuse to exit the vehicle and stay in your car, they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
