    i have witnessed 100% sober drivers, blowing zero on a breathalyzer being arrested because the cops felt like it. anyone else failing so hard at their jobs would be fired, and these people are supposed to be trusted with extra responsibilities and human killing devices.

    Field sobriety tests are about as accurate as Tarot readings.

    In most jurisdictions, the police can arrest you for refusing. Some experts say that if you’re sober, it’s better to refuse and be arrested, and then find it in court.

      If I refuse a field sobriety test and request s breathalyzer or blood test instead, would I still be arrested?
