After a month later the test came back zero for alcohol. And my lawyer got me off, charging me $800. Apparently, the cops wanted to arrest me for DUI, so they could be free to search my car for drugs but found none. I had refused their request to search my car and so alarmed them.
And so some words of advice: Don't refuse a cop's request to search your car. A refusal to a cop can only mean you got something to hide in your car, like drugs. My own advice has paid off. Because a couple of years later the next time a cop asked to search my car, I complied. The cop having found nothing, let me be free to proceed on my way.
