I never had to do a test at a check stop. Blood test are more accurate and you can have that done I assume you could ask for one of those done as well. But also what if you are in a similar situation and you blow a 0.08 or more, what would you do then! it is the same situation.
I also assume the police have the devices for calibration and I assume you could ask to see the calibration results.

You don't get all of those options champ. Way to be up on what you're arguing for though.
And no it's not the same situation if you blow over .08. In that situation you have due process rights, it's only when you don't commit a criminal offense that you have no rights whatsoever. Makes sense huh? No criminal offense = no rights. Criminal offense = Charter protections.
The biggest BS part of this whole thing is no politician can actually raise the issue out of fear of the neo-prohibitionists at MADD going on a campaign to label them as pro drunk driving.
