In my case I was so close to the legal limit that it couldn’t be determined by field sobriety tests. Even after a blood test they never really proved guilt.
After 9 months of showing up for court every 3 weeks so they could inform me that the test results hadn’t come in I said screw it. Basically they got me on a 2nd charge stemming from an unproven 1st charge.
I was a kid then and should have paid an attorney to come into the courtroom to tell the judge to toss the charge.
Don't say anything or do any stupid human tricks on the side of the road. Also, do not consent to any breath or blood tests without a warrant.
The same principles apply if the enemy shows up at your house or your vehicle for any other reason(s).
Apparently, you learned all of that the hard way.
Hope it all works out.
I'm a felon whose felony was carrying a gun in Illinois.
