First off I don't drink, much less drink and drive.

That attorney gives excellent advice. Although most states(perhaps all?) have laws on the book that your license will be revoked upon refusal of a breathalyzer and FST(field sobriety test), that means there is no real physical evidence against the alleged drunk. Can you say expunged record?

Of course the masses do not know any better and submit to a breathalyzer or FST, but, you can bet attorneys and politicians will never do so.

Remember that regardless of how much pressure MADD may put on legislators, the legislators still must follow the rule of law - or attempt to.

Of course we haven't even addressed the states that will arrest you and force you to submit to a blood test on suspicion. Can you say constitutional protections?

These revocation and forced submittal laws have yet to be tested to the Supreme Court and MADD prefers it that way I'm sure. Record expungement is the dirty little secret that keeps the revocation laws from being tested in a higher court.
