I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, “of something suspicious”. I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?

    Depending on your habits, it might behoove you to opt for the station breath test. They can look at more than just alcohol in blood and pop you for weed or even legally prescribed adderall.

      In most states you’re allowed to not take the roadside breath test, despite cops lying like motherfuckers about it. It’s the one at the station after you’ve been arrested that you have to take if you don’t want to automatically get your license taken for like a year, and they always do at least two different samples between that breath test, urine, and blood. Don’t do those and you’re pretty much guaranteed you lose your license and get the DUI charge as well.

        That is the opposite of another comment here. I guess I’ll beleive neither and refuse both tests to play it safe
