Not going to happen. That's not the penalty in this case. |
| He needs to just pay the money for a driver. |

The truck was in motion, starting to pull into a driveway. |
This 100% what should happen - and still would have near zero punitive effect on TW. At least it would decrease the chances that his recklessness will injure or kill someone else. |
Then he looked in his mirror, saw an SUV coming at high speed and pulled over onto the side of the road as per his statement to police. |

Hoping an attorney can chime in. Tiger takes the breathalyzer and it shows he was NOT drinking. He then refuses a urine test and he is charged with a DUI.
My questions: -Was Tiger charged with the DUI because of the refusal? If one refuses, does a judge get involved? -The police statement said Tiger appeared impaired. Would police be wearing body cameras to prove their point? -What happens next? |
Police always say people fail the field tests, no matter what. |
From what I understand it’s a straightforward if/then situation. If you refuse the urine test, then you spend 8 hours in lock up because you can’t prove sobriety. What’s next is likely a he said/she said. They can’t prove he was impaired either. Any impairment viewed could be explained away as effects from the accident by a good attorney. I agree with the tweet a few pages ago- no way in hell would I agree to a urine test if I blew a 0.0. This will go nowhere. He’ll pay a fine or something. |
Inferences are often drawn against a driver who refuses a breathalyzer, urinalysis or other chemical tests. Under implied consent laws, the act of driving is considered an advance agreement to submit to such tests if there is probable cause for a DUI or DUID arrest. In many jurisdictions, a refusal to provide a sample is not just a procedural hurdle; it can be used directly as evidence in court: Consciousness of Guilt: Prosecutors may argue that a driver refused the test because they were aware of their own intoxication and wanted to avoid providing incriminating evidence. Admissible Evidence: Judges or juries are often permitted to consider a refusal as evidence of impairment during a criminal trial. Heightened Punishment: If later convicted of a DUI, a prior refusal may lead to more severe sentencing or "heightened punishment". |
Vanessa and Elin should require him to surrender his license or at least never drive again |
Exactly. Why is this dumba$$ still driving? |
| Google is telling me the law changed in October and his refusal may result in suspended license for a year. That’s good. |
Why is it their responsibility to “require him” to do that? |
