San Diego DUI Lawyer
Information on Breath Test Refusal
Under California's "implied consent" laws, if you are suspected of driving under the influence (DUI) and you refuse to submit to a breath test, you may be facing penalties in addition to suspension of driver's license as a result. Having a skilled, knowledgeable attorney to represent you will be essential to your defense. Contact a San Diego DUI lawyer today to discuss your legal options.
As a California licensed driver your signature upon receipt of your license is an agreement to submit to chemical testing by law enforcement officers when suspected of DUI. If you have refused to submit to testing you can still face consequences even though there is no evidence of your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) from the time of your arrest. Refusal to submit to testing can be deemed by the court as a "consciousness of guilt" and penalties may be imposed including:
- One year driver's license suspension without possibility of restricted license for work or school
- Alcohol classes
- Counseling
If you have refused breath testing you will need an experienced litigator to assist you.
