Do you HAVE to? No. But, you may actually get out of the ticket if you do.

Your call.

You may then be cited for operating a motor vehicle under the influence.

No you do not have to show an officer your recommendation to be protected in court.

Of course, the question wasn't about whether a recommendation would provide a potential defense (it will assist in an affirmative defense, according to the law), but whether possessing it would allow one to avoid being charged. It does NOT protect someone from being charged.
