Re: Ozzy87 busted for speeding

This is my first post, so bear with me, please. I must disagree with a statement in this thread. A number of fairly good lawyers will tell you to take any sobriety test offered, and then they would try and beat the test in Court. In the state I live in, (and I am a lawyer, but not a DUI attorney), a refusal to take a DUI test is an automatic license suspension, no questions asked and the appeal process is a bitch. Most DUI attorneys I know actually encourage sobriety tests and others because it usually provides them the best fodder for an acquittal.
And, to anyone saying that he(Ozzy) should have refused the search , that might have worked pre-Patriot act. However, the Constitutional guarantees regarding searches, seizures and invasions of privacy was swept out the window approximately 5 years and 11 months ago regardless of skin color.
