Interview Transcript
Scott Michael Dunn: What are the consequences of refusing a breathalyzer or field sobriety test?
Chris Combs: None. Short answer is none. Your consequences are helping yourself by not letting law enforcement build a case. So there is no consequence.
Now, there are some jurisdictions that have no refusal policies and they’ll take you and get a blood draw. Now again, you can refuse that. Make them go get a search warrant.
But the consequences of refusing any field sobriety, any chemical testing for blood, breath, or urine, any questions, there’s no consequence. You are allowed to do that. That is your right.
