I concur with Paul.
Even in the older days,
we only went into house if the "suspect" had been followed and not stopped due to no safe place to pull over.
We would then go to house.
Other times are after a Hit and Run or any crime where person left the scene.
The bonnet would be checked on entrance also to make sure still hot (as per our rules)
and the "suspect" then asked to take Breathalyser.
If the suspect refused he would then be arrested and if found he was drinking the "minute" he walked into house this was also noted,
Breathalyzer done or arrested on refusal to supply specimen without the normal reasonable grounds,
when a blood sample would be taken instead at station,
and the Court would then decide,
but not a recommended way to try and get out of Drink Driving as the Courts would generally see this as a attempt to sway results.
