Most people get this wrong 👇

That “breathalyzer” on the side of the road?
It’s NOT the same as the one at the station.

In Rhode Island, there’s a big legal difference between a roadside breath test and the one at the station, and it can impact your case.

Two different tests.
Two very different consequences.

Most people don’t know this about resisting arrest in Rhode Island 👇

Even if the arrest is illegal… you still can’t use force to resist it.

You might beat the original charge, and still get stuck with a resisting arrest charge.

Handle it in court, not on the street.
