Isn't refusal to take an in situ sobriety test an automatic "something or other"?

So what does that say if the officer doesn't ask the citizen to take one? Maybe miajaipi is right and they knew the citizen would pass, and then they would be obligated to disclose the exculpatory evidence.

That forwards to http://www.tylerflood.com/, the website of a DWI law firm.

Are you advertising?

IANAL

They have the DONOTBLOW.COM billboards around town especially near bar/club areas. I thought it might be a good counterpoint to the claim that "the LEO that stops you will determine if you are intoxicated" as if you're not entitled to a lawyer and a trial, and as if everyone accused of intoxication is convicted, especially if there's no video and the cop didn't administer a breath or blood test because he knows you're not over the limit.

I think that shouting out in a crowded restaurant bar that "I have my gun!" is probably evidence enough of intoxication.

The Second Amendment and ability to pay the fees notwithstanding, not everyone has the maturity and judgment to have a CHL.

True, but it wasn't established that that guy was a CHL, a special investigator/off duty FBI agent/US Marshall/Personal Protection Officer/judge or justice/arson investigator/Game Warden/etc etc etc.

He was probably one of the "Men in Black" alien investigators from Washington. (From movie, Men in Black)
