Refusing the breath alcohol test

If cops suspect you for DUI and pull you over, it does not help, but could more likely harm, if you refuse to take the breath test.
The cops can just book you into jail and require blood or [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord109][CodeWord109][/url] test. They can also go to court and tell the judge that you appeared drunk, based on their professional judgement, and you would likely be convicted.
In my case, the 2 cops were anxious to throw me in jail and impound my car, but the breath test proved I was not legally intoxicated. 3 beers of 36 Ozs or 1.1 L, with 12% alcohol, divided by my average blood volume of 4. 5 L, would be 0. 028%, way below the legal intoxication limit. I could have up to 8 beers and still stay legal. BTW I probably have a fast metabolism. Most of the beer just went through me fast and got peed out in the bar. CHP breath test showed 0. 036% 2 hours after drinking. So their test was biased against the suspect.
The lesson is, It's much safer and more responsible to spend the night in Tijuana, drinking, flirting and having sex with your sweethearts. Just leave the freeway for exclusive use by timid, church-going grand mas.
OC to Tijuana is a weekly trip.
Either day or night, there is more CHP activity on the 805 after the 5 split possibly due to more issues on the 805 (see link below). The average cost of a speeding ticket from start to finish is $535.00 to keep it off of your DMV record (that includes traffic school).

I am a fanboy of radar / laser detectors. They work. Having some type of electronics is a must for "Fury Road" drivers. I invested in the pastport 9500 ci. The return on investment was four months after install. This type of investment is not for everyone. The CHP operate mostly on Ka band. Street cops use laser. Some CHP use both. See link below.

[QUOTE=Artisttyp;1952993]How far North have you seen them and how do you know they are specifically looking for guys that come back from Tijuana? Do they specifically ask you if you are coming from Tijuana? Someone else told me there was a checkpoint set up maybe two weeks ago right after you exit Mexico.
I don't drive on Fri / Sat night. That's why I am asking.[/QUOTE]
I guess he was late to a doctors appointment?
I agree! Spike strips work pretty good. Ha Ha Ha.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;1953206]This was true back when I wrote it on August 14th and it is definitely still true today.
I wonder who is capable of learning?[/QUOTE]
