Episode 83: To Refuse OR Not to Refuse...

Crime Time: With Virginia Defense Attorneys

When an officer pulls you over and you have had too much to drink or even when you have only had 1 drink, it can be confusing about what you are required to do when it comes to breath testing. In this episode we dive into whether you have a right to refuse a PBT (preliminary breath test), the breath test at the station/jail (EC/IR II), as well as blood tests. We also discuss what happens if you do refuse when you have no legal basis to do so if pulled over by the police.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
