What should a driver do if accused of DUI?

Here's the short version. I took my brother to the local smoke shop for tobaco supplies. The area and the smoke shop itself are both known to be friends with marijuana. I made an improper lane change leaving to smoke shop and was pulled over by a motorcycle officer and squad car that were watching the place.

Officer had me doing field sobriety tests for like 15 minutes and told me that he believed I was under the influence of marijuana. Towards the end, I actually started thinking that I was going for a ride to donate blood.

When he didn't put the brackets on, I knew he was bluffing, seeing if I'd slip. I'd have been more than compliant if asked to go downtown and give blood, but from what I've heard, if you're taken into custody for DUI, you are givin a DUI citation and the judge is left to look at the test results. If that happened, I'd have to tell my company and I'm sure they'd send someone out to pick up my truck.


question is, what is the right thing to do? Play with the officer on the side of the road or just insist on going downtown? Or, something else?

its obvious to me that he didn't truly believe that I was under the influence of anything, but seemed as tho he wanted me to be. If he honestly thought I was , I'd be in a cell right now.

 

That was my thinking. I know I'm innocent, I want to show that I'm innocent, but I didn't want to push much. Honestly, I was more worried about getting a ticket for an improper lane change than anything else... Until I started walking lines, poking my nose and counting to 30 with my eyes closed. I've watched enough episodes of "Cops" to know that "I'm going to be honest with you." Isn't something that you want to hear from law enforcement.

I will admit, I did change 2 lanes with a signal and the 3rd without. I'd have owned that if that's all it was.
