Quotes

“You have a right to remain silent. You should use it .”

“Field sobriety tests are not designed for you to pass. They are designed for you to fail. Overconfidence generally works against you.”

“Most people metabolism at .02 per hour depending on size and weight and how used to alcohol you are, all sorts of things.”

"People ask, "What should I do breath or blood." The answer is, it depends on what you have in your system. How much you drank and when you stopped drinking."
