Yeah, that's what I thought, but I heard a lawyer here in Texas say that if it goes to trial that the video tape will show you cooperating with the cop, but calmly refusing to take the test. If the cop roughs you up, well that's another matter. The video once again helps your case I'd assume.

. My point is that or really my question is : what PROOF does the cop have of you being drunk other than his observation. Which means this is based on a subjective observation and what else? If you're driving all over the road, sure... or slurring and stumbling, but what if you've just had 3-4 beers and are at the lower end of the DUI scale?

Then it becomes subjective and reasonable doubt etc.

I'm not a big drinker anymore, too many kids and responsibilities, but had a colleague stopped after a party and charged with DUI.

Got booked and the whole nine.

I let my wife drive everywhere usually cause we go in her car not my truck to gatherings.

Are you a lawyer?

I’m not a lawyer. I have 3 very good friends who are and do lots of criminal defense work. Every now and then they win a DUI case, but most of the time they advise their first offenders to take the pretrial deferral programs.
