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?


Like I said, your license can be suspended. That means you can still refuse it.
But most importantly, read 32:661 if you want to be insufferable about it. We have an implied consent law.
And that implied consent law is for a breathalyzer test. Not the one they do on the side of the road. You don’t lose your license to refuse a pbt.
Edit: Also fyi. Read 32.661 with a bit higher of a reading comp level. The chem test you can’t refuse is AFTER YOUR ARREST.
