Simple.
Now, if you want to funnel it dwn to drunk laws, please , am I not innocent till proven guilty?
Or
As you want - be assumed guilty because they have trespassed the Amendments?
I am supposed to incriminate myself .?
Or not.
Which is it?
IF you or we keep allowing this, where will it stop?

I find this to be pretty silly. If you are drunk to the point where it is obvious, of course you can lie about it, but who the heck are you kidding ? Saying that YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, WHEN YOU reek OF EVIDENCE, IS PRETTY DARNED SILLY. I would of course expect someone of low character to lie about it. If you are irresponsible enough to drive while drunk, what's a lie to you ?
Refusing to blow into a tube if you are sober would be stupid. Driving after having more than a couple is even dumber. Refusing to do something that can IN NO WAY incriminate you UNLESS you are guilty is pretty much admission of guilt right there. I'm sorry, I want you off the road if you drink and drive. It isn't a restriction of your rights to be willing to demonstrate sobriety in the face of probable cause.
