Hi. I got arrested for drink driving. They asked me to blow a first time which I did, then the police officer said I was not sober and they brought me to their office.
At the police station they asked me to blow a second time, however 30 min went by between my first blow and their second request for the breath analysis.
Therefore I refused because I knew that my blood alcohol level had increased, I told them « it is unfair to ask me to blow a second time 30min later, I knew I got few drinks but my house was really near and I decided to go back home before that my blood alcohol level gets too high. I was expected to be sleeping in my bed at this moment, so you can use the first breath analysis but I am not going to blow another time ».
Consequently I will have to attend the court for the offence « refusing to submit to breath analysis ».
(My friend told me that the first breath analysis was not official/legal, thats why they asked to blow another time)
Do you have an idea about the likely outcome ?
