Even if you know that you are not intoxicated, do not argue with the police officer or make any statements about the incident. If the police officer confronts you with a preliminary alcohol screening test, ask if you have permission to decline it. If he or she replies “yes”, then you may politely decline the test; however, do not refuse the implied consent breath or blood test given at the police station or jail as this may result in a potential one, two or three year license suspension.
