Question: Do I have to take a breathalyzer if I am stopped and suspected of and arrested for DUI in Los Angeles, CA?

Answer: If pulled over for a DUI investigation and the officer asks you to do a breath or blood test and you refuse, you will likely be charged with a refusal “enhancement.” If it sticks, then there will likely be additional penalties that would include a longer alcohol program requirement and a 1 year license suspension with no restricted license option (for a 1st DUI offense). You should contact an attorney to assist you with your case. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss in more detail.
