Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening?

  And you’ve been lied to and you’re wrong. I just read your Louisiana revised statute 32.666 and you don’t have to take a preliminary breath test (the little one the cops use on the side of the road).

  Again, though. Not a lawyer. Speak to your lawyer in Louisiana and ask them. Other jurisdictions may have different laws.

    Like I said, your license can be suspended. That means you can still refuse it.

    But most importantly, read 32:661 if you want to be insufferable about it. We have an implied consent law.

      And that implied consent law is for a breathalyzer test. Not the one they do on the side of the road. You don’t lose your license to refuse a pbt.

        Yes you do. It literally happened to my sister.
