I have a family member who is a lawyer and he has told friends and family that even if they aren't drunk to ALWAYS refuse a breathalyzer test. So apparently it's better to be taken in for refusing one in Mississippi than taking one with the risk of getting a DUI.

It just gives the lawyer a better chance of getting the DUI dropped to a lesser charge.

If you know you could pass one then I think that is bad advice. If you aren't sure, then yes. I have heard the same thing from DUI attorneys. You still get a DUI refusal though. Had this guy above passed the field sobriety test but then they insisted on a breathalyzer and he refused, he would have gotten a DUI refusal. Apparently, they felt like he was OK after the field sobriety even though he admitted to being "shite faced". Moral of the story is: Never drive when you are shite faced!
