It depends on what is being said. For example, domestic abuse in Wisconsin includes threatening to cause pain, threatening sexual assault, and destroying property (or attempting to). If you face a protective order or domestic violence charges, it is crucial to seek the advice of an experienced defense attorney.

The breath tests administered when someone is under suspicion of drunk driving are so entrenched in our society that the Breathalyzer brand has reached the level of Kleenex, becoming the common name used for all breath tests.
You may know the name Breathalyzer, but we think the following three facts are crucial for you to remember if an officer stops you on suspicion of drunk driving.
You are within your rights to decide not to submit to a breath test unless the police have a warrant, but there are consequences to making that choice. Refusing to submit to a breath test can result in the revocation of your driving privileges. You will have 10 days to request a court hearing after refusing a breath or blood test.
Your fifth and sixth amendment rights generally don’t apply to traffic stops. Telling the officers that you wish to speak to a lawyer before submitting to a test can be considered a refusal, exposing you to the consequences that come with that decision.
The portable breath test administered during a traffic stop is considered a “preliminary breath test”. The “official” breath test is administered using different equipment. Refusing the preliminary breath test will typically not result in the revoking a driver’s license, but refusing the official test will.
