The law requires you to submit samples of your breath for the purpose of testing to determine alcohol content. A record of taking a breath sample includes the test results, which will be made. Upon request, a copy of that record will be made available to you. After you've provided samples of your breath for testing, you have the right at your own expense to have a person or physician of your own selection take independent samples of your breath, blood, or urine for independent testing. If you refuse to provide samples of your breath, you will be issued a separate summons for the refusal. The court may find you guilty of both refusal and driving while intoxicated. If a court finds you guilty of the refusal, you will be subject to various penalties and Ma'am, keep your hand off your face. Various penalties, including license revocation of to 20 years, a fine of up to $2,000, installation of ignition interlock, and a referral to an intoxicated driver resource center. These penalties may be in addition to penalties imposed by the court for any other offense of which you're found guilty. You have no legal right to an attorney, physician, or anyone else for the purpose of taking breath samples. You have no legal right right to refuse or delay giving samples of your breath. Any response from you that is ambiguous or ambiguous or conditional in any respect to my request that you take breath samples will be treated as a refusal to submit to breath testing. Even if you agree to submit the test, but then do not follow my instructions, do not properly perform the test, and do not provide sufficient breath samples, I will charge you with refusal to submit breath samples. I repeat, the law requires you to submit samples of your breath for testing. Will you submit samples of your breath? Absolutely. So, yes. Yes. Okay. You want to look out for a breathalyzer? Or do you want to do that? Okay. Um Have you done this before? Have you got it? No, you should call her. It's not going to I wasn't. I want to do this.
