Implied
Consent is fiction.
It states that anyone
who drives on any road
in California has consented
to being tested for his/her
blood alcohol content.
You don’t remember
giving your consent? That’s
because you didn’t.
Still, California law
says you did when you
obtained a drivers license
and chose to drive. Just
as your consent is imaginary,
so should this law be.
Alas, it is not.
According
to California's Implied Consent
Law, drivers are required to
submit to and complete a chemical
test when requested by a law
enforcement officer. Consequences
of refusing the chemical test
are severe, including:
Stage 1:
the vehicle is stopped.
Stage 2:
the driver is detained.
Receive
all standard DUI penalties,
lose
the possibility of
a judge ordering probation
as a substitute for
jail,
