So I was arrested sitting in my parked car on my driveway. Engine off and no key in ignition. I had been driving whilst I had drink in my system, the reason the police turned up at my door was because I had an altercation with another guy in a Sainsbury local 500 meters from where i live. I made a comment about the guy not wearing a mask after he sneezed as I was walking past him. This escalated and punches were thrown and I actually hit the ground at some point.
I then drove off so someone must of gave my details to the police and they arrived at my house.
I was breathalyzed but the office could not get a reading so was arrested and taken back to the police station. I wasn't checked by a nurse and at no point was I interviewed. When i was taken into get breathalyzed I ridiculously pretended to faint and at that point the Police office said right thats it failing to give a sample even though when I got up I said I would take the test. a few hours later I was then taken to Hospital by the police as a precaution and the Dr confirmed that she could feel lumps on my head but that I was no longer suffering from concussion and was free to leave the hospital. I was then taken back to the station and was told that I would be seen by a nurse before I could leave, anyway that never happened so at no point was I seen by a nurse whilst in custody. I was then charged with driving a vehicle (no mention of alcohol) and that i failed to give a sample without a reasonable excuse.
So these are my questions.
Has the drink driving element been excluded even though it was obvious that I had had a drink?
Does the fact that I wasnt assessed by a nurse mean that they cant confirm if I was injured and therefore wernt in a position to say that I was indeed faking the fainting. Also having a Dr confirm that I have head injuries mean that I could of had concussion. if CCTV/body cams are checked im sure you could tell i was intoxicated but is this enough proof. Also even if I faked the fainting does that on its own enough to say that I refused to do a sample even though i said i would when i stood backup.
