Admission of guilt under most state laws.
When I took one years ago, I passed with flying colors. The JQ Laws then tried to stick me with some other charges that were thrown out.
It looks as though Mr. Blumenthal was not quite as sober as I was.
Plus...70 in a 30!
[Admission of guilt under most state laws. ]
Not true. The Constitution still applies to DUI but, most (all?) states have the implied consent law which is that you agree to submit to a breath or blood test under probable cause of DUI. Failure to do so cannot be used as proof of guilt but will likely result in loss of drivers license for a year on first offense or longer for repeaters.
Honest sober people have different options than lying drunks.
Never take a “field sobriety” test, since it is always technically possible to fail even when sober. The breath-test is generally of no consequence (well,unless over the limit.) Mr. Blumenthal did the “right thing” if he’s gonna fight it in court, I suppose?
