  1. Olinsky & DiMartino: Contrary to what some people may think, there is no constitutional right to refuse a breath or chemical test to determine the level of alcohol in your body. You are deemed to consent just by the act of driving in New York State. If you've been stopped and arrested for drunk driving, you will be faced with the decision of whether to take such a test. On the one hand, refusing to take the test has its consequences: your license can be revoked merely for the refusal (even if you're perfectly sober); your refusal may be admissible as evidence of your guilt at a trial of the drunk driving charge; and some prosecutor's offices will not extend reduced plea offers on refusal cases.
