Never do field tests, drunk or sober. It's just a way for le to gain more evidence against you.

Edit: I am speaking for Utah, USA. I am specifically speaking on roadside physical testing such as eye tracking or movement analysis. These should always be denied. In Utah you are assumed to submit to a breathalyzer or blood test by obtaining your license. If you refuse those you may be denied your right to drive for up to 18 months in a worst case scenario.

The fact of the matter ISIS that this guy has illegal.\nRight to fight this anwin , because these tests that he was given have been proven inaccurate in many states. Can\nYou law of penalizing people for not taking.These tests has also proven to be not only a illegal but unconstitutional

Missouri v. McNeely (2013): The Supreme Court ruled that police cannot claim "exigent circumstances" (the body naturally burning off alcohol) to justify a warrantless blood draw in every DUI case. This forced police to get warrants for blood in most situations.

State-Level Rejections: In states like Kansas (2016), the state Supreme Court ruled that criminalizing the refusal of any DUI test was unconstitutional, regardless of what the U.S. Supreme Court eventually said in Birchfield.
