Can I refuse a breathalyzer test?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
You have the power to refuse a test, but if we talking not about a breathalyzer (the little boxlike thing in the patrol car) but the Intoxilyzer (the larger machine in the police station), or a blood or urinee test, then the Refusal itself can lead to suspension or revocation of your license. That is the effect of the Implied Consent law, which says that anyone who makes use of the privilege of driving on Wisconsin roads consents to chemical tests if requested by an officer. So, if your refuse and the prosecution does not have a valid Blood Alcohol Content for you, they can charge you with the separate offense of Operating While Intoxicated, rather than also charging you with driving with a Prohibited Blood Alcohol content. You would do well to consult a good lawyer

Can my jail time serve as my payment for my fine?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
Hmm, I don't know what you mean when you say you were "on hold." It is almost unheard of for someone to be kept in custody beyond their release date, unless there is a "hold" for some other reason - usually, an ICE or parole/probation hold. If this is what you mean, then the extra time you served is credited to that other situation. If not, and you were held past the amount of time the judge ordered you were to have served, then perhaps you can get that time credited towards your fine. You are going to have to go to court, though, to have the judge issue an order to this effect. But my guess is that the reason is related to some other reason. Have a criminal defense attorney go over the situation with you and I'm sure he/she will be able to figure it out.

If you are arrested for DUI does an officer have to read you your rights?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
The easy answer is: No, you cannot beat this case based on Miranda. Although an officer should read you your Miranda rights when you are arrested, it is not absolutely necessary as long as you are not questioned about the crime for which you were arrested. Miranda only acts to suppress any statements you gave the police after you are arrested or detained. It does not invalidate an arrest. However, you may have other defenses available to you which would requires an attorney consultation. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your arrest. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
