What is “Per Se Intoxication”?

Under the Indiana implied consent law, there is a good chance that you may be arrested for “per se intoxication“. Per se intoxication means that when you refuse chemical testing or refuse to take a field sobriety test, you can be prepared for the officer to exercise their ability to place you under arrest for suspicion of DUI, but only if the officer has probable cause that you have been driving under the influence.
