Is It SMART to Refuse Police Tests
in New York?
This video is about whether it is smart to take any police DWI tests. Some people take some of the police roadside tests like the one leg stand, and the walk and turn test, but then refuse the chemical test of their breath back at the police station. That is called a refusal.
Other people take the big breath test but don't take the field tests. In my opinion if you're going to refuse, refuse all, and don't make any statements. Everything you do, everything you say, and every test you perform is evidence. It is all evidence that they intend to use against you to prove DWI or DWAI drugs.
Evidence that even hints of impairment or intoxication is going to make you look bad in their police report. It basically gives the police ammunition to use against you in a court of law.
