The New Jersey courts now hold that a prior REFUSAL to submit to a breath or blood test can now be used as a prior DUI Offense for sentencing purposes, which will enhance and aggravate the period of time for suspension and the likelihood of incarceration.   Refusal is no longer considered a civil issue but quasi-criminal in nature.

 This past January, the provisions of “Ricci’s Law”,  has been changed.   Thereare now a group of amendments tpo New Jersey’s  DUI Laws  . Under these measures first offenders of drunk driving laws and persons who have been found guilty of refusals to take breathalyzer  pr blood tests  must have an interlock ignition device installed. The judge can order the use of an interlock device or the suspension of the defendant’s registration privileges.  The device ps meant for vehicles principally driven by the offender will be mandatory for violations forany refusal  and for those defendants with a blood alcohol level of 0.15% or greater.
These devices are not cheap and certainly are an embarassment to say the least to any person who needs to operate a vehicle.
Most certainly going into court without an experienced DUJI attorney is nothing short of high-risk.
