Congrats; however, you could have avoided this all together had you provided a sample of blood/breath while at the station.

EsqEddy hated that coming from me. Anyway most driver's manuals state what is and is not implied consent. If you are driving on a valid driver's license you have accepted the the terms. There is no right to drive. I am happy for you but be careful in the future..
Georgia DUI & DWI Laws & Enforcement at DMV.org: The DMV Made Simple
"Called the Administrative License Suspension Law (also known as implied consent), it works like this: If you are pulled over and a police officer asks you to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test to determine your BAC, and if you refuse, your license may be suspended for one year."

Too bad half of the police cars in FL have illegal tint themselves.
At least half of marked and unmarked state, county police cars I see have illegal tint here in FL. I have illegal tint on my car but its not that bad. You can at least still see inside. Some of these police cars have what looks like freakin limo tint on the front windows!!!!

ah gotta love the uninformed making comments like this.Too bad half of the police cars in FL have illegal tint themselves.
Police and some other government vehicles are given a specific exemptions from the tint laws. so they do NOT have illegal tint. Highly recommend you learn how to fact check before making posts that make you sound ignorant.
I still don't see why their exempt. The supposed reason that we have tint laws is safety. I know their not trained to drive with darker tint....it should be equal opportunity, but since thugs have window tint at 0% and the officer can't see a gun being pulled while walking up is a major reason I'm sure. Most of the time they will leave you alone if when pulled over you immediately roll down the windows and hold license and registration out with both hands when you have dark tint like I do on the cobra.
I know about the "exemptions" but its still BS.......I will take the remark about being "illegal" back but its a crock of shit for a police car to have "legal" tint but on an everyday Joes car its considered "illegal"......Seems there are a lot of "exemptions" for government and state stuff huh?
Yeah, that's fair.......

it gets weird when the people entrusted to enforce the laws are exempt from them huh?I know about the "exemptions" but its still BS.......I will take the remark about being "illegal" back but its a crock of shit for a police car to have "legal" tint but on an everyday Joes car its considered "illegal"......Seems there are a lot of "exemptions" for government and state stuff huh?
Police pull someone over looking for drunk drivers and they're bad because they should have better things to do.
They miss somebody out drunk driving that kills a family and the police are bad because they're not doing their job.
Some people don't like to take responsibility for their actions and blaming the police for things like this. Sme people just feel better when they can place the blame on something.
Yup. :bash:

Tint laws are in place for the officers safety. When they pull people over they want to be able to see what's going on inside the car such as hiding drugs or getting a gun or 10000 other reasons.
OP glad to hear it worked out for you!!
what you fail to understand is that we don't care. I am not a cop, and IF your story is 100% true the cop in your case was wrong. But SO WERE YOU. and that is where your issue lies.
you want sympathy and anyone that doesn't give you that is, in your narrow little view, on the cops side. maybe you should take a step back and re-evaluate your behavior. no one has said the cops were right, I dont think anyone condoned their behavior. you have been given some pretty good advice that you seem to want to shit on because it didn't come with a sympathy card.

That's simply not true. Lets say that he may have blown a .06 which would be below the legal limit for DUI in Georgia but will still allow the LEO to arrest the OP with a DUI less-safe violation. The likelihood of having that charge acquitted would be less likely.
If the OP is being truthful about drinking 3, 12oz beers in 4 hours, he would register well below .06.
Police do more than just enforce traffic laws...some of us work plain clothes, conduct surveillance in high narcotic trafficking areas, work stakeout jobs...etc. Clear glass does not lend itself to doing any of those jobs for obvious reasons, hence the exemption. When your case or the life of your CI depends on it...its pretty important. The motoring public is not allowed to run with red and blue lights either, do you think that should be allowed?

Well said. I've given up trying to explain it you put it perfectly.
This. I've explained it in other threads also, but there will be people who only have one track minds and will always hate on LEO's and the job no matter what. They bitch at us for being exempt from laws, or bitch at us for enforcing certain laws, yet they are the people that vote for the lawmakers.
