Me Refusing Police at DUI Checkpoint

In most states refusing to submit a DUI test will result in your drivers license either being suspended or revoked , by your state DMV or a local judge, so if you haven't been drinking its a foolish move.

Also if you have been drinking and refuse the test, its hard for the police to get a conviction on a DWI charge that requires a certain alcohol blood percentage. But what they can get a conviction on is driving while impaired, which doesn't require a test, only the police officers trained observations.

So refuse the test, your end result will be a instantly revoked license and a possible impaired conviction, even driving while falling a sleep and get you nailed for this in most states.

I discussed this top for about 2hrs. with a NYS town judge that had a regular business during the day and what I stated above, is what he said happens most of the time a driver refuses a alcohol test.

He said the best outcome from a DWI arrest is that if it results from a simple traffic stop , its best to comply with the police, be professional if you can, try and not incriminate your self and in the end most of the time its plead down to driving while impaired and you keep your license.

Fight it and the DA may hammer you.
