Life is full of difficult choices.As long as you are fine with losing your license for 270 days, refuse away. My ex did....made it a real PITA to get to work every day.

Made more difficult by the presence of morons who post purposely misleading or incomplete things like:Life is full of difficult choices.
DUI testing gymnastics are voluntary in Maryland, so the police can do so only if consent has been sought and received.
That's what I like about this forum......learn me something new every day.Now GILLIGAN, ............(swats Gilligan with hat as Thurston Howell III watches)..... The Jack Booted training academy specifically teaches recruits that have a possibly drunk dude, (at gunpoint) to do cartwheels while balancing a basketball on the nose, then have them twirl around the nightstick 12 times and recite the Chinese alphabet, all 126 letters, in 10 seconds. That way, they can illegally search the dudes wallet for marijuana seeds and grab his cash to split with the District Court dudes and the MVA clerks.
Well, of course.That way, they can illegally search the dudes wallet for marijuana seeds and grab his cash to split with the District Court dudes and the MVA clerks.

Staying on the rope bridge or jumping off and falling 1000 feet in to a rocky gorge: A choice.Nope! 100% accurate. There is a choice.
make anyone stand on one leg with one thumb in their rear end while reciting the Magna Carta in Latin.....LMAOIt still can be refused. Doesn’t mean there isn’t penalty for doing so, but is in fact voluntary.
Police can no more use force to make anyone stand on one leg with one thumb in their rear end while reciting the Magna Carta in Latin but with a slight Russian accent than they can force you to furnish your ID, for example. In that latter case, if there is probably cause, you’ll be taken to the lockup until you can be positively identified.
In the former case, I think you loose your license for a bit and blood draws are often physically compelled (after some time when BAC may have settled a bit, so law enforcement likes to get this done in the field). Many of those have had successful legal challenges though.
In any case, all voluntary choices we citizens get to make. Just be aware of the consequences, could end up an expensive miscalculation. In other words, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Anyone in that situation might see losing their license for x months might be life-ending, but I guarantee a DUI on the record will be far worse, for a far longer period of time.
The language you furnished from Implied Consent doesn’t obviate the natural right to remain silent.
You have a inalienable right to own things, like a car. But what is argued is - do you have an inalienable right to drive on a public road?
The problem with DUIs is that instead of enforcing the laws and penalties that were on the books back in the 60s and 70s it was decided to lower the amount of alcohol in your bloodstream to convict you of driving while impaired or DUI, therefor making a whole new class of criminals which required lawyers, judges, MVA personnel and alcohol classes. No way in HELL are most people impaired at .05 or intoxicated at .08 BAC!
and your response if a DD killed or maimed a loved one???
Yea, appeal to emotion logic is for soft girly men like you.

so lets insert shooting or stabbing someone with a weapon? Just to feed the machine? I mean HEY, we need to pay jail guards... lawyers.. (Mike Slocum wins!)...the DEI illiterate equality hires workin in da lawyah's office...
Wrong again, consistently so.I love, love, love these replies.
Pssst: the comma is not required after “And”. My statement, on the other hand, is correctly punctuated as it stands.
You must know that assuming most anything about someone you know nothing about is a massive rhetorical fail. Oh..wait..no..you don't know that.Yea, appeal to emotion logic is for soft girly men like you.
Nope. People are saying that it is the best sentence ever. No one has ever seen a sentence so eloquently constructed. No one has ever strung together such a perfect sentence before. Look. It’s not me saying this. EVERYONE is.
Reading the sentence it feels wrong unless you know that “appeal to emotion” logic is a title of a logical fallacy. As such it should be quoted to show that it’s been lifted verbatim from another source.I love, love, love these replies.

At best, it could be written appeal-to-emotion, but is otherwise fine as it atands.
