re: Let's settle this once and for all- should you blow if you're pulled over for DUI?

Well if you get pulled over and are suspicious, your're going to jail that night either way.
This. In Florida there are no roadside breathalyzers, it is done at the station. If a cop pulls you over, does the field sobriety tests and takes you back to the station, you are going to jail period. The cop is invested at that point.
As i stated in the other thread, I passed all the field sobriety tests (performed to standard) except the eye test. Cop took me to a station that wasn't his station but was only a mile or two from where he pulled me over and asked if he could use their machine. Started filling out the paperwork while the machine warmed up or whatever it does to get ready. I blew just under the limit. Cop said, well you might have been just over the limit when I pulled you over and proceeded to write up the tickets then have me transported to jail.
Obviously I hired an attorney and the judge probably would have thrown out the case entirely but the prosecutor/attorney had already offered me a $500 fine for reckless, 1 MADD panel. Bail was $500 so it was a wash there. They kept the $500, i went to 1 MADD panel.
Still pisses me off and I wish I hadn't even taken the reckless. It was gonna get tossed out anyway.
Point is, if you go back to the station and blow doesn't matter whether or not you blow under the limit. Cop has invested his time and wants a return on it.

The eye test is 100% bullshite. There is a reason it's not used in court.
I've never passed it, and I've never had a dui or dwi arrest or citation.
I think it's only so cops can act like they have something to back up a suspicion.
I trust gangbangers waaaaay more than I trust traffic cops. You are revenue to them and they can do whatever they want to you.
