Know
your rights
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.
