In WI, and I'm sure other states, refusal is an automatic loss of license.

SFST != breath chemical test. I’m not aware of a single state that has any penalty whatsoever for refusing SFST.

I assume that they’re going to breathalyze if you refuse SFST? So what’s the point of an SFST? To further build a case against you?

In WI if you refuse they will arrest you, take you to the hospital and take a blood sample. They will strap you in the chair if necessary.

They don't even bother with breathalyzers anymore as apparently too many lawyers got good at beating them in court.

eta-And refusal is an automatic administrative suspension of your license.
