Small Iowa Driver's Rights Cards Make BIG Impact On OWI Stops

DES MOINES, IA, May 13, 2011

The Iowa Driver's Rights Cards are small, but they are making a BIG impact on a person's preservation and protection of their Constitutional and Statutory Rights, the evidence obtained during an investigation and the final outcome if charges are filed.

What are Iowa Driver's Rights Cards? The Iowa Driver's Rights Cards, developed by the attorneys at Gourley, Rehkemper & Lindholm, PLC (GRL Law) of Des Moines, Iowa, are two cards: one card for your key chain with GRL's 24x7 telephone number on it, and the other card to hand to a police officer investigating you as a suspect to criminal activity or during a stop for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

The Driver's Rights Card that you hand to the police officer is a printed invocation of your Constitutional and Statutory Rights. It informs the police officer that you 1) wish to speak with an attorney immediately, 2) do not agree to be questioned without your attorney present, 3) do not agree to a search of your person, property or affects, and 4) wish to leave if you are free to do so.

"When people are in a situation involving police, they feel intimidated and often forget to invoke their rights. They also try to explain their way out of the situation. The explanations often times get them into more hot water than if they just handed the police officer the 'Rights Card'," Attorney Robert (Bobby) Rehkemper explained. "It isn't a 'Get Out Of Jail Free' Card, nor does it intend to aid or encourage criminal activity or drunk driving. It won't guarantee you that you aren't arrested or charged with a crime. But it will help you if you are in a situation with law enforcement officers."

The Driver's Rights Card is free. You can request your Driver's Rights Card online at IowaOWIDefenders.com/DriversRightsCard, or call GRL's office at 1-888-278-1027.
