I would like to share with you all the OWI implied consent warning. We were given these cards when I was a reserve officer with an Indiana sheriff's department:
"I have probable cause to believe that you have operated a vehicle while intoxicated. I must now offer you the opportunity to submit to a chemical test and inform you of your refusal to submit to a chemical test will result in the suspension of your driving privileges for one year. If you have at least one previous conviction for operating while intoxicated, your refusal to submit to a chemical test will result in the suspension of your driving privileges for two years. Will you now take a chemical test?"
It is your right to refuse chemical tests.
