[Clemenza]

Several court decisions here in NJ have basically made refusal to submit to an alcohol test equivalent to an admission of guilt. It varies from state to state, but if you follow BillF's link, you will see that it is an admission of guilt elsewhere in everything but name.

This is NOT true, btw, with the "pre-tests" ie walking a straight line, touching nose, etc. In most states, you CAN refuse due to the lack of effectiveness of such tests in determining intoxication.

[evidence of drunk driving].

Note it is evidence, not proof. Bloodshot, watery eyes is also evidence. Both are refutable and it MUST be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. That is hardly an admission of guilt.
