Refusing a field sobriety test WILL result in suspension of your license. You will be taken to jail on suspicion of DUI/public intoxication, and a judge will be awakened to issue an order to take your blood. Then you're held down, and the blood taken from you. Afterwards, you'll likely face that same cranky, tired judge the next morning when you're arraigned. Not a fun way to go.Right2Carry wrote:I have always believed that you could invoke the 5th when asked to perform any field sobriety test, breathilizer, or blood test. I may be wrong on this but I would never take one of those tests and would invoke my 5th amendment rights under the constitution. Sure I might have my license suspended for 6 months to a year for failing to do so, but hey that is better than a DUI conviction.
Here's something that's better than a DUI conviction: Not driving after having drank alcohol. From the sounds of your argument, this is something you've given plenty of thought to. I humbly ask that you consider the possible consequences to other people, i.e., injury or death, the next time you consider driving after drinking.
