If this is a first time offense, YOU SHOULD COMPLY WITH BREATH ALCOHOL TESTING. You will likely be able to retain your driving privileges, and there is no reason to risk a 1 year suspension of your license.
If your charge is a felony offense, or if you were charged with OWI causing death or serious injury, some lawyers suggest the wisdom of refusing the DataMaster testing, because you are going to lose your license as a sanction for the underlying offense, and complying with the DataMaster only provides the Prosecutor with additional evidence to help convict you.
