Should I fight the ticket? The legal blood alcohol (BAC) limit in my state is .08 and I was below that. I passed all the field sobriety tests, and actually the PAS (field breathalyser) said I was sober, but the officer took me in to the station anyway. I think that is illegal as there was no probable cause. Do you think I should fight the ticket, and possibly sue for false arrest (mental anguish, loss of consortium), as well as failure to medically adress my injuries in an appropriate time fashion. I should have had to go to the ER for a check first, by which time my BAC would have blown zero.
My friend says that, because I totalled the car, and injured myself, that it is now felony DUI. I think that's not ture, because it was my car and my injuries, not someone else's. He says I should take a plea bargain and will get off cheaper and easier. By the way, the incident happened while off roading, so I'm not sure whether the street laws even apply.
Thanks, any help appreciated.
