Refusal to Provide a Breath Sample
The charge of fail or refuse to provide a breath sample, either into a roadside device or into an Intoxilyzer at the police station, carries a penalty upon conviction that is identical to the penalty one would receive if convicted of the offence of Impaired Driving or Drive Over 80 Mgs of Blood Alcohol. It is unlawful to refuse to provide a breath sample if the police have reasonable grounds to make a lawful demand. If you do refuse to provide a breath sample, you will need a lawyer to help protect your rights.
Some people facing charges involving breath sample refusal also face charges involving impaired driving, and at DefendCharges.Lawyer, our referred lawyers are experienced at handling both types of criminal offences. While these are two (2) distinct types of offences, the penalties can accumulate and become more serious if you have been charged with both.
