Not true.


While many people believe refusing a breath test makes a DUI case disappear, prosecutors can still use other evidence such as your driving, field sobriety tests, body camera footage, the officer's observations, and your own statements.


In this video, I explain what happens when you refuse a breath test and why this common legal myth can get people into trouble.


Did you think refusing the test meant the State couldn't prove a DUI? Let me know in the comments.
