I have spent 20 years of my life in public service and law enforcement. Basic fact; if you were not drinking, then you have nothing to worry about. Unless, you were on narcotics, and hopefully being a firefighter that is not the case. I assume you were given roadside sobriety and offered a breath test at the jail. No alchol means .00 means no probable cause at the magistrate's office. A refusal means the DMV takes your license for 12 months and the county takes it for 30 days, just because you refused. That has nothing to do with the conviction.
As far as the DWI court being "fixed", you have no idea what we have to prove to her to get a conviction. Because she lost a family member, she makes sure the officers did it right. No exceptions.
I understand you are stressed. If you took the test and blew .00, you wouldn't even be commenting so you either blew something or refused.
Hate to break it to ya
