Can I say no to a Breathalyzer test?
Your day is going fine -- really no different than any other day. Then, while driving around town, you see flashing lights in your rearview. The police are pulling you over, but you are not sure what for. The officer comes to your window, and you learn that he or she suspects you of driving while under the influence of alcohol. He or she asks you to submit to a Breathalyzer, which is standard in the state of Maryland. What should you do?
Lawmakers work to close ignition interlock devices loophole
A drunk driving conviction in Maryland can result in serious criminal penalties, including license suspension, jail time, and significant fines. In 2016, Maryland passed the Drunk Driving Reduction Act of 2016, also known as Noah's Law, which specifies that Maryland drivers with drunk driving convictions on their record must have an ignition interlock device installed in their vehicles.
