The best plan is to do as you are asked and if you want record the stop with your phone. Then ask a lawyer if you were treated legally.
I'm retired FBI. ..you are spot on


Asking for license / registration is a LEGAL COMMAND by an officer who is in initial stages of an investigation.

You don't produce it, YOU WILL be exiting your vehicle


Now you want to suggest complying. ..but not talking....

Ok...a driver can do that

Refuse field sobriety test?
Yup....
do that too if you wish


Find out if PBT is admissible in court AS DEFENSE ONLY but not prosecutor ( as I believe Maryland use to be / is )....then by all means take the PBT.....
it can only help a drivers case.



Bottom line

Don't drive if you've had 4 or 5 drinks

2 or 3 ( normal size)
You aren't going to be ringing up a .08
