it's called inmplied consent,
I know it's legal but that still doesn't make it right. This is the same line of thought that says "if you have nothing to hide, they why won't you let them search your house, car, etc.
The burden of proof rests with the accuser and we are not required to assist our accuser in any way. And that's Constitutional.

YThat's right. And the State does not have to issue a drivers license. If you don't want to agree to consent to a sobriety test on demand, don't accept a drivers license in the first place. Generally, refusal results in loss of the license without any need ofr a DWI charge being filed. A drunk driving conviction rests on court testimony and evidence presented at trial. BTW, how often do you think a sober. non drinking driver refuses a test? People refuse to be tested, knowing it will cost them their license, because thay are drinking and know they will fail a test.
