The result is not the entire case

Liability depends on the applicable threshold, the testing method, device records, time of testing and compliance with procedural safeguards. The file must be examined as a whole.

If you disagree with the test

  • Ask that objections be recorded in the official documents.
  • Request information about the device and testing procedure.
  • Follow the lawful procedure for medical examination or biological samples.
  • Keep copies of every report and notice.
  • Do not assume that refusing a lawful test has no separate consequences.

Why prompt advice matters

Statements and procedural choices made immediately after the stop can affect the case. A lawyer can review the legality of the measures, evidence, deadlines and available challenge without guaranteeing a particular outcome.

Official legislation should be checked in the version applicable to the facts. legis.md ↗
