How many other crimes are directly defined with a time-sensitive impairment?
If they allowed you to both call a lawyer and wait for them to arrive you could arrange for your lawyer to be a) 2+hrs away, b)alseep or c)any other time delaying tactic.
I agree I don’t like the status quo, but if you have a reasonable alternative that still allows them to catch people who are drunk driving, I’m all ears.
Miranda Rights give you the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney
These rights go out the window because if you exercise them they simply charge you refusing to comply which carries the same penalty as a drunk driving conviction
