Breathalyzer is the only reliable and fair test, unfortunately it only works for drinking.

All I ever said was the simple act of holding a CDL, and being involved in an accident(or not), with no suspicion of having committed any other crime should also not be held to be probable cause.

Having a cdl you should be held to a higher standard, including while in your pov. Having a cdl while driving a cmv you should be held to a much higher standard, but not to the point of being forced to give up your constitutional rights. A cdl should not, in its self constitute probable cause.

That is why the ruled the way they did. (With the exception of one that I couldn't find.

Had the officer declare he/she thought that person appeared to be under the influence I feel the court would ruled otherwise. As has the courts rules in other examples.
