Dude you're missing my point. Now read carefully, because I agreed to the field sobriety test he had zero authority to arrest me. You can choose one or the other in Mississippi. So no, I am not "lucky he didn't arrest me". I just know how to pass the frick out of a field sobriety test.

IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU PASSED. If he has reason to believe( you turning down the breathalyzer and he obviously smelled alcohol) then he can arrest you. You would then be looking at a DUI with implied consent. The implied consent gives the lawyer more room to get the DUI dropped to a reckless driving, but could have been shitty for you either way. Especially, since you said you were shitfaced. You should be saying thank you, not frick them

"Somehow and thankfully I passed and didn't get a DUI. Assholes still gave me a seatbelt ticket. That's the only run in with OPD I've had. I guess they were cool for not throwin my arse in jail but I've heard enough stories from my friends and others to confidently say frick OPD."

Did you even read my post?

That's not what the law you have linked states.
