Question:
Can you refuse a breathalyzer test in Maryland?
Answer:
If you refuse a breath test in the state of Maryland, there are ramifications for that refusal. You face the loss of driving privileges, at the Motor Vehicle Administration in a hearing that will take place, and you could lose your license for up to 270 days. In addition, the act of actually refusing could potentially be used against you in a trial in which the judge or jury would determine that you were intentionally trying to hide your blood-alcohol content. You need to call me as soon as possible in order to discuss this issue.
