Syllabus

Under the totality of the circumstances, a highway patrol trooper possessed reasonable, articulable suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence when he asked appellant to perform field-sobriety tests. Appellant had no constitutional right to refuse a breathalyzer test, and the trooper's act of requiring him to take a test he had no legal right to refuse did not provide grounds for suppressing the test result. Appellant also had no constitutional right to speak to an attorney before taking the breathalyzer test. Judgment affirmed.
