What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I was driving back home after having a cigar at a local shop. While driving I got to close to the curb and curb rashed my passenger side rims. I make it home no problem. I had a few shots of whiskey to calm my nerves from seeing my beautiful wheels all scraped up. Twenty minutes later the police are knocking at my front door. The officers told my wife there was an accident and they need to speak to the driver of the vehicle. Evidently, someone witnessed me scrape the curb and thought I was driving drunk so they called the cops. So anyways, my wife makes the mistake of letting the cops in to the house. She should have said not without a warrant. I'm upstairs getting ready for bed and two armed officers come and ask if I had been out driving tonight. I said yes, and they asked if I had been drinking and I said yes. They perform a few field sobriety tests on me and then decide to put hand cuffs on me. They never said I was arrested, nor was I read my rights. I get to a hospital and they proceed to tell me they are going to do a blood test. Since I had a few shots of whiskey in my house less than 50 mins ago I said no. They said if I don't take it I will lose my license. Still I refused. My friend who is a lawyer came to the hospital and the police let him take me home. I was not given a ticket or any information other than to be on the look out for a PENNDOT letter stating my DL is suspended.
I was very compliant. Did everything I was told. Yes sir no sir. I didn't take the test because I had been drinking while at my house for 20 mins until the cops showed up.
Need advice.
