I was recently asked as a New Jersey DWI Attorney about having an alcohol test completed at police headquarters when being suspected of DWI. Just because an officer suspects that you were under the influence, that is not enough for him to take you down to the station in order to give you the alcohol test. In order for the officer to bring you down to the police station, he must have probable cause or a reasonable belief that you are under the influence of either alcohol or a drug. I advise clients as a New Jersey DWI Attorney that if you do not properly complete the psycho-physical tests given by the officer, they will have probable cause to administer the alcohol test.
If you have been arrested for DWI and are being given an alcohol test at police headquarters, contact our experienced New Jersey DWI Attorney.
