• Harrison Phillips: The Fourth Amendment's exclusionary rule allows courts to prohibit the government from using, in jury trials, evidence recovered from illegal searches or seizures. The exclusionary rule is not automatically applied in every Fourth Amendment violation.

• Peter Wimbrow: A breath analyzer test measures a person's BAC or BAL. The amount of ethanol that is in your system is the same as the amount of ethanol that is "on" your breath when you exhale and inhale. As a result, police are able to test your BAC or BAL by having you breathe into a breath analyzer. Whether you are required to take the test depends on the law in the state you are in at the time. Under the law in some states, if you refuse to submit to a breath analyzer test or other similar test for measuring your BAC or BAL, such as a blood test, your license will automatically be suspended. If you are later found to have not been intoxicated or impaired, your license may still be suspended in some states as a result of your failure to cooperate.
