Which is a crock in my opinion. Federal legislation gives police the power to demand a breath sample on request, but it is always at the officer's discretion. They are framing this as the legislation is making it mandatory and they need to do this in order to comply, which it is not. Or am I mistaken in what the law says?

Agreed. This is an unnecessary overstep and misuse of authority. The problem is the general populace is too complacent to push back on something like this.
