You have that backwards. She was arrested and only afterwards was found to be carrying. She wasn't issued a field sobriety test because there was no reason to. And once arrested you have the right to refuse to cooperate with the police. You don't have to answer questions. You don't have to provide a blood sample. You don't have to take a Breathalyzer.
That's not making any kind of logical sense to me.
Don't confuse what police can do when they suspect you of DWI with what they can and can't do under other circumstances.
Mostly laws have a decent degree of logic attached to them.
The law is the law.
I'm not buying this story at all, that she could be arrested and not tested.
Even people like her have Constitutional rights.
Just read elsewhere about an open carry march in MO.
No mention that conceal carry was legal there.Open carry yes, concealed carry, no.
Did the drunken State Senator have a permit to conceal carry a weapon or not?
