This snippet was from last weeks newspaper:
"Florida is among several states now holding what are called "no refusal" checkpoints. It means if you refuse a breath test during a traffic stop, a judge is on site, and issues a warrant that allows police to perform a mandatory blood test,"
Here is a link to the story:

What ever happened to the fifth amendment right of not being forced to incriminate yourself? |
Dave is right, i have not seen a mandatory no refusal checkpoint before. However like he said,
you have 2 options
1) you blow over, congrats, you are going to jail for the night, 5000 dollar find, car impounded, losing license for a year and a shit ton of lawyer fees, not to mention a criminal record for DUI.
2) you refuse the test AND the roadside test etc. You go to jail, you lose your car for a year, that's it. No Fine, no lawyer fee bullshit, none of that. You go apply the next day to the DMV and say you need your license to get to work, you get a hardship license.
My advice, keep a portable breathalizer in your car, if you get pulled over, blow it and know your options, Dont guess.
I've been with police maybe 20 times when we pull over drunk people, every single time, the cop already knows your drunk, the more shit you do, your just incriminating yourself more.
