If you are suspected of drunk driving in Louisiana, if you are asked by an officer to take a field sobriety test (FST), you have no right to speak to one of our Baton Rouge, Louisiana DWI/DUI Attorneys. You will not have that right until after you have submitted to blood or breath testing (chemical testing) at the station (or have refused to do so). Unlike the chemical test, where refusal to submit may have serious consequences, you are not legally required to take any FSTs.
If you refuse to submit to a breath or blood test, there is a catch: Your First Refusal will result in the loss of your license for 180 days with eligibility for hardship license after first 90 days. Your Second Refusal will get you 545 days without eligibility for hardship license. The decision is one of weighing the likelihood of an incriminating blood-alcohol result against the consequences of refusing.
