PLEASE be aware that in some states, refusal to blow constitutes an automatic one year suspension of your driver's license. My state is one such state, and it is not the only one.
The reason they can do this is that implicit in obtaining your driver's license is a passage in which you give your consent to be subjected to a breathalyzer. Failure to do constitutes an actual crime for which the punishment is a one year suspension of your license. If you know you're not intoxicated, BLOW!
What pisses me off, not to glorify drunk driving, but how is a fat ass soccer mom with one hand on the cell phone, another hand messing with her retarded kid in the back seat steering the wheel with her cottage cheese leg any less dangerous on the road than a drunk driver?? Why don't the police ever set up a "safety checkpoint" near a school, mall or a church??
I see i See, this cop was using a tape measure to have the suspect walk 10 steps and 10 steps back, hmm doesn't that white line for the parking space look efficient?
@waterman1976 I don't drink alcohol at all.Nor do I smoke weed.When a cop takes you to jail and you blow a zero they become bigger assholes than they were.They do not want to admit to making a mistake.You are in jail and he still charges you with a DUI,what are you going to do about it?Nothing because who is the judge going to believe?You?The judge is going to believe the cop because he is suppose to "serve and protect"and also he is honest.Cops will not admit when they are wrong.
This cop should have did dat shit himself. This man has a lawsuit right in his hands. clearly he is intoxicated, why try to humiliate him and cause blunt head injury knowing he can't even stand up without staggering. The cop should've been next to him to guide him just in case he lost his balance SMH...
lol.........fucken pig did that on purpose!!! there plenty if white lines on the ground already....lol....maybe they should have paint a line on the pigs ass!!!!!!!!!
ya see..... I think that would constitute a failed roadside sobriety test the moment his head hit the pavement >>>> But for some reason i think that cop made this guy finish the test just for shits and giggles........whatta u think ??????????
Driving drunk / under the influence is a danger to your self and to the people around. Since police are forced by law to protect the people, they have to pull you over if are DUI. And those medications that impare your driving, have labels that say do not operate vehicles (or something like that). Do not blame the cops because you are drunk, if you are drunk you are a danger and as cops they have to remove the danger.
My anger is this: You are a criminal if you drink and drive. WRONG...I don't know any human who has a drink is deliberately thinking in his mind "I'm going to drive and kill somebody" And furthermore over 100 million people take all kinds of prescription meds that can cause impaired driving---they are working on getting you a DUI for those drugs, too! Before you know it we will be a police state! Damnt...if you wreck and harm somebody then that is wrong but leave other's alone!
Get REAL this is a zero tolerance nation for the most part of the states. Pot does Not act like this narcotic alcohol does. They will still agitate to call marijuana bad because they Need to hurt people. It's what they do. We don't want drunk drivers on the road killing people, but we need sense, too. Legalize pot and figure it out that reefer doesn't make you drunk.
I wonder if most people realize that a DUI in most states is not drunk driving...dui = driving under the influence,not driving drunk or basically being over the legal limit which probably varies in states...,while DWI= driving while intoxicated,is considered drunk driving.Basically in my state even if you blow below the legal limit,the police can still get you for DUI,AND if you refuse any tests,its an auotomatic 1 year suspension no questions asked,so yea,many DUI cases are complete BS.
Why didn't the cop just make him walk one of the lines that are ALREADY PAINTED ON THE GROUND IN THE PARKING LOT???? hahahahahaha.. Funny none the less..
I don't think that any of us want drunk drivers on the streets. My problem with the laws the way they are is two drinks and you are legally drunk. So honestly, they could arrest most anyone leaving a club/bar and they could be charged with DUI which really messes up someone's life. It is LEGAL and taxable....the State makes lots of money off of alcohol. It is a huge gamble to think you are not legally DUI if you have had most anything to drink.
never take the field test or blow in the field. but do blow at the station if they ask. not blowing at the station is basically an automatic conviction. at least in illinois it is. chicago cops will most likely physically rough you up or verbally by screaming in your face. ignore it and let them take you in, or they may just let you go.
@NoirNG "It would be so much easier if you could execute drunk drivers on the spot. No point wasting the nation's money on idiots without self control"
I would fully agree with you if they raised the legal limit at least 5 times
@Scientologists4Angle Your logic is flawed. People who drive sober cause accidents..sober people sometimes get angry.. sober people beat on family members...Jesus fucking Christ, make a valid point or shut the fuck up. If you happen to be a child, or someone with brain damage, I offer my sincerest apologies.
Now, I don't drink..actually I can't due to health problems so I tell people to just don't comply..you have that right. I was pulled over and harassed to give a field test and I refused. I would normally tell people to refuse the breath test as well but knowing I had nothing to drink, I enjoyed blowing a 0 for this bastard cop after all the sh-t he put me through. Don't mouth off but do not comply, period.
I hate it when things happen to people where they make one mistake that has the potential to screw them over for life. DUI is one instance where that can happen far too easily, because of the possible danger presented and the possible penalty.
It's all avoidable if you get the mind set of "I will not drive if I've been drinking", or at the very least STOP DRINKING and allow the time needed to sober up so you CAN drive.
I witnessed a lot of those road side sobriety tests, and have to say the police do things that always makes a person look drunk. Never saw an officer administer it properly. In fact the whole road side sobriety test is ridiculous, and I would never comply to doing one. I saw one test where the officer had a guy stand on one leg. When the guy asked How much longer do I need to stand like this. The officer said when I tell you to stop. I watched this man stand on one leg for 5 minutes.
@talltom1973 OK, but no sober person ever got charged with drunk driving. I hate cops as much as the next guy but no cop ever made some guy stand on one leg for 5 minutes. You are a liar, become a cop.
@Smackdaddy9 Of course sober people have been charged with DUI. And people have been falling down drunk, and not been charged. I witnessed an officer abusing some guy. All I know is I would never comply with the sobriety test. If I lose my case I lose. I would be polite, but I would not answer questions.
@Smackdaddy9 That used to be the case but MADD has seen to it that our4th and 5th Amendment rights(you know not incriminating yourself and all)have been taken away.If you don't do the "Implied Consent" tests and you win the dui criminal case the DMV will still suspend your license at a civil hearing for failure to comply.Implied Consent,WTF.Thank MADD for this one and they haven't stopped yet.How do I know this?Guess.You can be stone cold sober,refuse the test and your lisense still gets suspen
Well you are screwed either way. If you take the test you are making it easer for the cop. Fine 250 lose of lic for 6 months . If you don’t the takes your lic for 2 years and fine and you get higher insurance 4 years. Not only that the cop usaly got you on dash cam weaving or some thing else. You being unsteady on your feet, slurring your words red eyes. You loose any way for the most part.
@berquecrustpunk Why did you pay $3000??? Did you win the case or did your Attorney? Drunk driving is NOT illegal in ALL 50 States...only when you are in a commercial Motor Vehicle. (Motor Vehicle = U.S.C. Title 18 part 1 chapter 2 section 31).
There is a difference between a bump on the head and internal injuries. Basically the cop just wanted a response from the guy to see if he was going to be OK. No need to call the cop dumb.
And why should the cop help up the kind of scum who drive drunk and risk other peoples lives. These people are criminals and deserve no compassion.
I have no love for cops either, but they deal with the worst people of society every single day. Think about that the next time you get pulled over.
You can refuse field sobriety tests, however, in most if not all places you must submit to either a breathalyzer or a blood test or your found guilty anyway.
What is written on your license is what is called the Implied Consent Law. Basically it means that you consent to any field sobriety test. This was done to curb people who were drunk and refused everything to keep the state from having any evidence. Obviously your best choice is not to drink and drive. Your next choice is remember your rights. Do not say ANYTHING. You have the right to refuse. In FL you loose your lic for 1 year. But you are not branded an alcoholic and you can get a temp.
Implied consent refers to the breathalyze- not the field sobriety test. There are no penalties for refusing the field sobriety test- only the breathalyzer.
If you read your license, it says that "Operation of a motor vehicle constitutes consent to any sobriety test required by law." It's usually on the back or on the bottom of the front. If you refuse a sobriety test you will be immediately arrested and breathalyzed at booking. Don't listen to the submitter's advice, or the people who are agreeing with him. It is ON YOUR LICENSE! Seriously. You can check RIGHTnow. It's wild.
for me I'm responsible drinker that means I always limit myself stricter but I may reuse a empty wine or beer bottle that use screw shaped cap and fill it with plain water for personal use. if I'm an alcoholic person, I'll simply get into more trouble and you don't even know what was happen unless you are awake
1. answer any questions ("have you been drinking tonight?", "do you know what the speed limit here is?", etc.)
2. take any field sobriety tests
3. consent to any searches
4. take a breathalizer test
If a cop wants to arrest you, he can do so. But if he does so with no evidence against you he'll look like a total idiot. Consenting to searches or sobriety tests or breathalizers, or answering any questions, is just HANDING HIM EVIDENCE that will help him.
From what I've read, IF YOU GET ARRESTED, then when you get to the station they will ask you to take a blood or breathalizer test. If you refuse that one, you will automatically have your license suspended.
But field tests and you and should politely refuse. Doing so helps you to avoid getting arrested, because few cops are going to arrest you on no evidence. And as long as you weren't swerving, they will have NOTHING against you.
actually when u are issued ur license ur agreeing to take a soberiety test...u dont have to take the test but u can also have consequences for not doing so...think we talked about that in dr. ed. but bn 2yrs since but yea...n yes hangin him evidence is a big one too
@garrett1118 The Constitution is suppose to protect you from things such as this but the reality of it is that there are many in law enforcement who don't support the US Constitution and force these types of tests on people. Case in point; Austin & Houston,Texas where fascist jack booted cops think it's acceptable to forcibly remove blood from individuals on the side of the road.
@mainmedic Your blood is your property. The 5th Amendment stated that you shall not be deprived of property without due process of law. So unless the cop is the accuser, judge, & jury , the roadside stop is NOT due process.
@MrLogicnreason Oh I agree with you but in these jurisdictions they have judges writing blanket warrants which supposedly gives law enforcement the authority to draw blood. How this is acceptable is beyond me. I'm all for road and highway safety and stopping drunk driving but law enforcement but respect and obey the US Constitution.
On that note according to the US Department of Transportation this is a test program, the hope is to obtain funding to start a nationwide program.
@m221201r where is it documented that it is? Also, you have to have legal proceedings happen to constitute due process as well as a judge or magistrate involved
@m221201r where is it documented that it is? Also, you have to have legal proceedings happen to constitute due process, as well as a judge or magistrate involved
@m221201r where is it documented that it is? Also, you have to have legal proceedings happen to constitute due process, as well as a judge or magistrate involved. You need to be given notice of proceedings, and a chance to be heard before government acts on depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property. Look it up
@MrLogicnreason ok im going to rewind, if you are stating due process as in forcibly taking blood i agree. noone should FORCE you to take the blood test. I just saw another post indicating forced blood draws. Are we on the same page now?
Well actually in CO if you refuse a test you lose your license for a year. The best thing to do would be to get the blood test rather than blow for an intoxilyzer. That is.. if you're stupid enough to drink and drive. Unless you want to kill yourself or someone else that is.
Yeah, what you left out is that even though you can't refuse the test, instead of a field test you can choose to be taken to a hospital to be blood tested instead. Why would you leave the most important part out? Don't you think your odds of passing are a tad bit better if the cop has to transport you to a hospital before testing? I don't even live in Colorado, I just found that out by googling for five seconds.
Seriously people, learn your rights, wherever you live.
the guys drunk off his fucking ass, i would laugh too. the cop is only doing his job. it isn't prejudiced towards any group, he isn't abusing power. grow up
I just have to wonder how many "alcohol related" traffic accidents are not even the fault of the one who had a few drinks. For instance, junior is staring down onto his lap testing away on his blackberry, runs a red light, get t-boned by someone who had a glass of wine with dinner.
It's a risk drinkers take. Anything that happens is the drunk drivers fault. Kind of chilling. Enough to have made me quit drinking and driving. When I turned 18, it was legal to have a beer while you were driving. 1979. Couldn't act drunk though. I bluffed my way out of a dozen stops before I turned 20. Hard adjustment but times change. People abused these "loose reigns" and now we're hobbled. Was nice to sip a beer on a road trip. Bummer. Now just smoke a joint.
The real problem is the little box you are FORCED to check when you get your license. This little box that 99% of you don't even know about is what leads to DWI breath test. This little check means that you are also waving one of your Constitutional Right..... The 5th Amendment. Look it up Sheeple.
BTW Drinking and Driving is irrisponcible all vehicles should have breath test ignitions.
Usually its represented as square box that you must check when your feeling out the forms to get your driving license established or renewed. You must agree to these rules or your not allowed to obtain a license. This box basically states that you will give your blood/breath/urine upon request to an officer of the law, for the purpose of evidence that could be used against you in a court of law. This is against the 5th Amendment and so it can be challenged.
i got a dui nov 29 too funny, the cop writed every single thing ...he wrote how i swirved how many times my ligh blinked, what time i took my seat bealt off, the way i was holding the wheel man no life cops lol but anyway california fines for a dui suck =[ lol
OK... main thing wrong with your title... if you don't comply... you can have your license suspended for 6 months to a year depending where you live. If it's your 1st offense, most of the time you're better off just complying.
Pretend you are the cop, no sober person refuses field sobriety tests. Why? To be able to pass them, and laugh in the cop's face when they do. Those who refues, always, and I mean always, exhibit signs of impairmant. Thus the refusual, begins mental note taking, and notations of behavior. The basis for any report or 'planning' as you allude to. I did not mean to imply that there is a conspiracy under way to get the good people of America.
If you were PBT tested while not driving, then you were suspected of Public Intoxication, not DUI. The fact you put a .04% into the PBT indicates the obvious, you were responsible that night. I don't know the whole story, if you were a passenger in a car, going crazy at a college party, or simply just needed police attention. Police do not randomly pick citizenz to PBT. As far as writing reports to intimidate people. That is not exactly accurate.
My facts are accurate, believe me. Refuse at the scene and the cops are already planning their report of how you were unsteady on your feet, had glassy and bloodshot eyes and refuesed to comply with field testing. Refuse away at the scene and see who wins. The cops. The three cops that will be there for your tests and all write the same report will sink you. Also, by the time the PBT is used, you're getting locked up. Refuse or take it the outcome is the same. You are in custody.
"by the time the PBT is used, you're getting locked up."
Baloney Sandwich (BS)!
I've been PBT'd numerous times (not always while driving); every time I blew < 0.04 (agreed to it 'cause I knew it'd exonerate) and I was let go.
If you're insinuating that police "plan thier report" to intimidate those who exercise thier rights, well I guess it's coming stragiht from the horse's...er, porcine's...mouth!
More great advise on the 'Tube. Don;t blow and check the penality. It's huge. Year suspension, charged at the highest rate of Blood Alcohol Content, and fines out the ass. Great advise. If you are out of the car, chances are you're going to get arrested.
Big difference between refusing to take a breathalyzer test at the scene and refusing at the police station after you are arrested. The penalties you are talking about nightvision are for refusing at the station. Get your facts straight next time.
If u r drunk dont fuckin drive mothafucka period. I am tired of these mothafuckas trying to get tips to drunk fuckin ppl. Fuck you, if u r drunk and drive, u deserve to going to jail for the rest of ur fuckin life
Shut the fuck up stupid bitch, what da fuck u r talkin about fag, ppls family? A r fuckin stupid for real? how about victim's family, so shut ur mudafucka mouth and fuck urself
Do you not make any mistakes? Drunk drivers are not putting a gun to someone's head and pulling the trigger or raping your little sister. They can be anyone who had some drinks one night and made a mistake to drive thinking they were a lil tipsy. Its a drug, it makes you think irrationally. U R saying that anyone who has ever driven drunk should be put in jail for life. I don't know what gestapo dictatorship you envision america should be, but try not to judge others cause no one is perfct
Drunk drivers are more likely to swerve into oncoming traffic, run red lights, run stop signs, drive at excessive speeds, etc. which is what makes them so dangerous. If you KNOW you are drunk and get caught, yes, you are better off to not take any tests. However, at least half the time, officers decide to let the person go after passing field sobriety tests (or having them call a friend if they are borderline). Refusal to take the test is a definite trip to jail.
I hate to tell you but police just don't have the resources to do that. It takes at least 20 officers working all night to stage somthing like that, even in a confined aria, let allone a whole city. If you feel that way why are you not a cop?
Every single night....including tonight....hundreds of thousands of people will be getting into their car at a bar or night club, strapping on their seat belt and heading out onto the highway....to go home....or to another bar.
And they are already drunk.
Law enforcement, in it's infinite wisdom, does not set up a checkpoint at the night club driveway and put these drunks in a a paddy wagon.....oh no, that would be too easy.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. thats the fourth amendmant. checpoints are only set up with reasonable dought. that is perfectly within the amendment.
Well next time that someones 5 year old child gets killed by a DUI driver I will make sure that all of you "youtube lawyers" get a chance to explain how the death of their child could have been prevented. Driving under the influence is very dangerous. A life is way to important to be taken by some idiot who has a blatent disregaurd for the general public by getting in a car drunk. By the way the only way the "murder" can be prevented is by arresting people for DUI, it is NOT a victomless crime.
Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I was trying to make the same point below. People should be responsible for their actions and be aware that when they make stupid choices, it doesn't just affect them, it can affect anyone. My friend was not killed by a murderer who happened to be drunk, he was killed by a drunk who didn't obey the law. It could have been avoided had the driver followed the law. Murder is a plot.
you really show your ignorance when you type, You said it yourself, it's not the booze but the breaking of traffic laws. Do you think if the driver wasn't intoxicated and ran into your friend that he would have lived????
I think that if the driver that hit my friend wasn't intoxicated, the accident MAY have never happened. There's no way to really know. All I was trying to say is that people should be responsible for their actions because their actions don't just affect them, it can affect someone else too. I'm not trying to be ignorant, but like you, am entitled to my opinion.
Somebody else who isn't a moron...thank you for making your point
My friend was murdered by a drunk driver
And all you ever heard from the mouth of the murderer's family was that it "wasn't fair" that we were having him locked up
Its perfectly fair...sorry to the family that your a son is an idiot, but it is perfectly fair for the life he took...in fact its not enough in any of the victim's family & friend's minds, but it is at least something
You know, I know you are only trying to help people with your tips and please do not take this the wrong way, but that is bullshit that you are giving people that drive under the influence a way to get out of trouble. I had a friend DIE from being hit by a drunk driver. I understand that you have a disclaimer, but at the same time, if someone is dumb enough to get behind the wheel, then that person deserves what is coming to them.
hes saying that if you arent drunk you dont have to take it. if you are drunk you can still refuse it but the cop can still arrest you. and most the time you will be too drunk to remember not to take the test, and dont take this the wrong way but its not bullshit
no your friend was killed by a murderer who happened to be drunk. Murder is allready a crime dui by it'self is not because there is no victim. Police often push cirmcumstances to get a conviction where there is none, the machine is totally not accurate in any sense of the word & the process can be corrupted to gain thousands of dollars for the state. Also this helps bolster that these lazy bums who are supposed to serve & protect, justify their existance. no victim no crime.
Yea, but if you fail there, you're screwed.But, it is given about an hour after the arrest. So, if you're lucky, you could get the BAC down enough to be free. So, they only "arrest" you to take you to the station.
Great video. The policeman was always in control. The suspect was obviously unable to operate a motor vehicle safely. If the suspect refused any tests the officer could have easily and legally arrested him. At the very least it would take him from behind the wheel for his own safety and the publics safety as well.
worst misconception about dwi laws is that their so harsh to get u to stop drinking and driving.sooooo wrong the system wants you to drink and drive thats what supports their lyfstyles dwi offenders are job security for about 200,000 people in this country, think about it..good thing for them people will never stop drinking and driving
The laws against drinking and driving have been getting tougher and tougher since I was a kid first learning to drive in the 60's. The push and pull between individual rights and the safety of the individual and that of the public needs study and evolution of knowledge and laws. The police do a great job in the area of DUI and could do even more IMO. The goal is to save lives and even property
Especially here in the South where many states do not allow Sunday sales of alcohol. Of course this does not include drinking in a bar, which is perfectly fine.

People who drive intoxicated often cause or get in accidents.
Drunk people sometimes get angry.
A drunk person, when they get home, might unload on a spouse, gf/bf or other family member.
Someone who is not caught drunk driving is likely to do it again.
We have drunk driving laws for a reason. GET A LIFE, LOSERS.

Now, I don't drink..actually I can't due to health problems so I tell people to just don't comply..you have that right. I was pulled over and harassed to give a field test and I refused. I would normally tell people to refuse the breath test as well but knowing I had nothing to drink, I enjoyed blowing a 0 for this bastard cop after all the sh-t he put me through. Don't mouth off but do not comply, period.

I hate it when things happen to people where they make one mistake that has the potential to screw them over for life. DUI is one instance where that can happen far too easily, because of the possible danger presented and the possible penalty.
It's all avoidable if you get the mind set of "I will not drive if I've been drinking", or at the very least STOP DRINKING and allow the time needed to sober up so you CAN drive.

I witnessed a lot of those road side sobriety tests, and have to say the police do things that always makes a person look drunk. Never saw an officer administer it properly. In fact the whole road side sobriety test is ridiculous, and I would never comply to doing one. I saw one test where the officer had a guy stand on one leg. When the guy asked How much longer do I need to stand like this. The officer said when I tell you to stop. I watched this man stand on one leg for 5 minutes.

There is a difference between a bump on the head and internal injuries. Basically the cop just wanted a response from the guy to see if he was going to be OK. No need to call the cop dumb.

What is written on your license is what is called the Implied Consent Law. Basically it means that you consent to any field sobriety test. This was done to curb people who were drunk and refused everything to keep the state from having any evidence. Obviously your best choice is not to drink and drive. Your next choice is remember your rights. Do not say ANYTHING. You have the right to refuse. In FL you loose your lic for 1 year. But you are not branded an alcoholic and you can get a temp.

If you read your license, it says that "Operation of a motor vehicle constitutes consent to any sobriety test required by law." It's usually on the back or on the bottom of the front. If you refuse a sobriety test you will be immediately arrested and breathalyzed at booking. Don't listen to the submitter's advice, or the people who are agreeing with him. It is ON YOUR LICENSE! Seriously. You can check RIGHTnow. It's wild.

garrett1118 2 years ago
no, you can politely refuse to:
1. answer any questions ("have you been drinking tonight?", "do you know what the speed limit here is?", etc.)
2. take any field sobriety tests
3. consent to any searches
4. take a breathalizer test
If a cop wants to arrest you, he can do so. But if he does so with no evidence against you he'll look like a total idiot. Consenting to searches or sobriety tests or breathalizers, or answering any questions, is just HANDING HIM EVIDENCE that will help him.
therebelwaltz 2 years ago
From what I've read, IF YOU GET ARRESTED, then when you get to the station they will ask you to take a blood or breathalizer test. If you refuse that one, you will automatically have your license suspended.
But field tests and you and should politely refuse. Doing so helps you to avoid getting arrested, because few cops are going to arrest you on no evidence. And as long as you weren't swerving, they will have NOTHING against you.

@garrett1118 The Constitution is suppose to protect you from things such as this but the reality of it is that there are many in law enforcement who don't support the US Constitution and force these types of tests on people. Case in point; Austin & Houston,Texas where fascist jack booted cops think it's acceptable to forcibly remove blood from individuals on the side of the road.

@mainmedic Your blood is your property. The 5th Amendment stated that you shall not be deprived of property without due process of law. So unless the cop is the accuser, judge, & jury , the roadside stop is NOT due process.

@MrLogicnreason Oh I agree with you but in these jurisdictions they have judges writing blanket warrants which supposedly gives law enforcement the authority to draw blood.

On that note according to the US Department of Transportation this is a test program, the hope is to obtain funding to start a nationwide program.

Yeah, what you left out is that even though you can't refuse the test, instead of a field test you can choose to be taken to a hospital to be blood tested instead.

I don't even live in Colorado, I just found that out by googling for five seconds.

If you were PBT tested while not driving, then you were suspected of Public Intoxication, not DUI. The fact you put a .04% into the PBT indicates the obvious, you were responsible that night. I don't know the whole story, if you were a passenger in a car, going crazy at a college party, or simply just needed police attention. Police do not randomly pick citizenz to PBT. As far as writing reports to intimidate people. That is not exactly accurate.
nightvisionmonocular 3 years ago
My facts are accurate, believe me. Refuse at the scene and the cops are already planning their report of how you were unsteady on your feet, had glassy and bloodshot eyes and refuesed to comply with field testing. Refuse away at the scene and see who wins. The cops. The three cops that will be there for your tests and all write the same report will sink you. Also, by the time the PBT is used, you're getting locked up. Refuse or take it the outcome is the same. You are in custody.

Drunk drivers are more likely to swerve into oncoming traffic, run red lights, run stop signs, drive at excessive speeds, etc. which is what makes them so dangerous. If you KNOW you are drunk and get caught, yes, you are better off to not take any tests. However, at least half the time, officers decide to let the person go after passing field sobriety tests (or having them call a friend if they are borderline). Refusal to take the test is a definite trip to jail.

no your friend was killed by a murderer who happened to be drunk. Murder is allready a crime dui by it'self is not because there is no victim.

Also this helps bolster that these lazy bums who are supposed to serve & protect, justify their existance. no victim no crime.

worst misconception about dwi laws is that their so harsh to get u to stop drinking and driving.sooooo wrong the system wants you to drink and drive thats what supports their lyfstyles dwi offenders are job security for about 200,000 people in this country, think about it..good thing for them people will never stop drinking and driving

The laws against drinking and driving have been getting tougher and tougher since I was a kid first learning to drive in the 60's. The push and pull between individual rights and the safety of the individual and that of the public needs study and evolution of knowledge and laws. The police do a great job in the area of DUI and could do even more IMO. The goal is to save lives and even property

Especially here in the South where many states do not allow Sunday sales of alcohol. Of course this does not include drinking in a bar, which is perfectly fine.
