not something im proud of, but I have been charged with DUI 3 times in illinois, and 2/3 times I refused the tests which is suppose to result in a mandatory 6 month suspension no matter what, but the problem for the police on that is they need to prove probable cause.
Those 2 times they had a video, which was used in court so the judge could decide if they did have probable cause to think I was drunk. Knowing this, I did not do any of the road side tests so all they had on video was basically nothing, just me getting out of the car and politely refusing so that mandatory suspension was dropped.
The other time I did blow and blew over the limit which should mean I was fucked no matter what again. But a good lawyer will subpoena the maintenance records for the Breathalyzer which are require by law to maintained for a long period of time, i think 5 years in illinois, so them actually producing every single maintenance record is next to nil. Also, an expert witness can easily prove that Breathalyzers are inaccurate.
