ahhh but it is an internet admission, which by all accounts means that you can still go to court and lie to try to get out of taking responsibility.The officer's account is the truth, by your own admission.

She could if I were the officer.......
I noticed you submitted to a field sobriety test. Never ever submit!
The person judging if you pass is someone who already thinks you're drunk. It's only going to be used against you.
You're almost certain to go to the station anyways which is why you don't need to submit. With the SCOTUS ruling they have to get a warrant now unless it's exigent circumstances. Normal dissipation doesn't count.
again not entirely true. Kalifornias "implied consent" has not been tossed. which means that if you choose to not submit to either a FST, or a chemical test, your drivers license is suspended for a MANDATORY one year. and that is not subject to debate. so a warrant is not even needed.
also a lot of states, and I am sure Kali is one, have a judge on call 24 to issue warrants where needed when people don't cooperate.
the only thing the officer has to do is smell alcohol or see an open container in your car and he has probable cause.
A warrant is still needed if they want to draw blood.
You're missing that they can't do a forced withdraw. The penalties for refusing are still in effect.

So you refuse SFST's, then refuse to blow......that means you go to court and try to convince a judge you werent drunk with literally ZERO proof that you weren't. Good call on that one! After you get found guilty you can post on SVTP why the legal system is against you lol :beer:
After talking to a dozen or so attorneys , I decided to skip counsel and represent myself. The cost of counsel vs the likelihood of getting the ticket reduced seemed skewed the wrong way.
At the arraignment, I asked the judge if he could read the penalties of my citation before entering a plea which he did. $2700 fees, 2 points, 30 license suspended. Then I asked for permission to speak, which he granted. He listened intently as I shared my side and story of the case. The judge spoke privately with the clerk asked the bailiff a copy of my registration, and then asked how I wanted to plea. I plead guilty and sentenced 2 points, 30 day license suspension, and $650 fee, case closed, lesson learned.
have you told your state farm agent yet?
Since when do you have to tell your insurance agent about a ticket?!
