    Because these are two different things, if you’re accused of murder they can use whatever you say against you, but in case of drunk driving it doesn’t matter what you say, what matter is the results of the test.

      The courts have ruled we have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

      If you do that they then simply charge you with another crime.

        I agree that traffic rules enforcement is not being done in the most fair way but it kinda works.

        Let’s say they somehow manage to have lawyers present at the hospital in case of drunk drivers, how would a lawyer help suspected drunk drivers?
