Just tell the cop you don't have any money and they'll probably let you go.
No way. Telling them that will make them think you have cash they can seize- or worse seize the car and not charge you.

My right eye twitches a lot. Like right now I can feel it sorta twitching. It's like a condition.
My eyes do this when my blood pressure is high.

It's not new. It's based in science: "The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) Test. You've seen this test in movies and public service announcements. It's the one where the officer has you watch a moving a pen or a flashlight. Nystagmus is an involuntary shaking of the eyes that usually only occurs at the extremes of your periphery. But when a person is intoxicated, it can occur at less steep angles. So the officer will have your eyes follow the object, slowly, back and forth. He or she will be watching for jerkiness in the way your eyes track the object, looking for that telltale shake when they're off at the sides. If nystagmus occurs within 45 degrees of center, you could be in trouble. A person without nystagmus should be able to follow the object smoothly, and when they look at a still object at 45 degrees, they should be able to do so steadily."
The cop's eyes are more jumpy than the suspect. It is very nearly completely worthless since most cops aren't trained very well to start with. Plus, some of those halfwits will do it for like 10 minutes.

Man, I love pissing off cops. It annoys the hell out of them when you refuse to self-incriminate on a DWI stop and then refuse to blow.
