🚨 "What happens if you refuse a breathalyzer in Louisiana?"
Short answer: It's not a free pass — in fact, it can make things worse.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 Automatic License Suspension – Refusing a breathalyzer can lead to a mandatory license suspension, even if you're not convicted of DWI.
🔹 Use Against You – Your refusal can be used in court as evidence of guilt.
🔹 Increased Penalties – If it's not your first refusal, you could face enhanced penalties, including fines and possible jail time.
🔹 Implied Consent Law – Louisiana operates under implied consent, meaning by driving on Louisiana roads, you've already agreed to chemical testing if lawfully arrested for suspicion of DWI.

Refusing might feel like a safe option in the moment — but it carries serious and immediate consequences. Know your rights and the risks.
