Thats ridiculus its a fact that refusing to testify when ur on trial is not an admision of guilt. One could then theoretically argue that that same principal pertains to taking drug tests. Your refusal to take a test should not be an admission of guilt.




Welp PM, basically it goes like this:

There are laws (constitutional amendmendment #5) stating that you do not have to offer evidence against yourself in court.

Whereas, on the side of the road, there are laws in most states, specificating that if you refuse a breathalyzer test, you are automatically guilty.

Please dont reply stating the laws cause i know that you can get ur license suspended for refusing I'm just discussing theory here.


Yes, I did just that. I wasn't trying to be intentionally annoying (it's a talent). And I do understand your point. You are talking about what's right, not necessarily what the law is. Right vs. wrong vs. law gets to be a very tricky subject. The best advice I've ever heard on the subject came from my grandpa.

He always told me: If you want justice, go to a whorehouse. I can tell you what you'll get if you go to a courthouse.
