If a police officer stops me and asks if I've been drinking, what should I tell him?
A: The first words out of your mouth should be, "Before I answer that question, I would like to discuss it with my attorney, please." If you state this in a polite and respectful manner, the professional and conscientious officer will not likely take offense, and should understand that your refusal to answer without talking to a lawyer first is an invocation of your right not to give incriminating evidence against yourself.
