Just Kidding, you can’t beat the breathlyzer test. But, you can take precaucions to make sure that you mitigate the chances that the breathlyzer can be used against you in court for a DUI charge. If you find yourself being pulled over by a police officer, and he suspects you’re under the influence of alcohol and drugs you can simply reject the officer’s request to perform field sobriety tests. What will this mean? It depends from state to state. Could it be implied consent? Consult your lawyer.
In Iowa, however, rejecting the field sobriety tests means you will most likely not get a DUI charge. You WILL however, lose your license for up to a year.
TIP: If you get asked to take the Preliminary Breath Test (PBT), DENY IT. Deny it on the grounds that it’s inaccurate. This will buy you time, until you get back to the station and take the breath test that usually holds up in court.
I remember, when I received my DUI long ago, I was advised by my lawyer that I should NOT have submitted to the field sobriety tests.
