Breath Test Refusal
New Jersey has an implied consent law, requiring drivers to submit to a breath test if there is an implication of drunken driving or driving under the influence of drugs. If a refusal does take place, you will be charged with breath test refusal and you will lose your license for a minimum of seven months. Drivers who are guilty of turning down a breath test can be subject to harsher penalties than those convicted of a DUI with a BAC reading of 0.10% or higher.
According to the law, police officers are not allowed to administer a breath test without probable cause being established. Without any real probable cause, your charges may not stand.
