    Refusing a breathalyzer is expensive though thanks to implied consent. The ticket for that is a ton of points.

      If you’re sober you should absolutely agree to the breathalyzer and the blood test.

      It’s the field tests that are bogus.

      What? You have to pay for the blood test if you refuse the breath analyzer? Everyday I learn something new about the US and everyday I’m shocked about it.

        Not sure if you have to pay for the blood test (it wouldn’t surprise me), but part of driving on a public road is consenting to a breathalyzer test. They do need a warrant to draw your blood against your will, but they may bully the hospital into doing it anyway. Refusing to take one is a crime that in combination with any other violation can get your license suspended.

        It may be worth going that route if you are marginally over the limit and a few hours would sober you up.
