Attorneys Defending Against the Blood/Breath Test
When a person is stopped by a police officer and cited for drunk driving they are most offten arrested and taken to an office to have a chemical test taken whether it be breath, blood, urine or oral fluid test these tests must be done correctly and by a properly trained person in order to be admitted as evidence against the accused in court. Although some consider a side of the road breath test to be similar to those administered at a police station, they are not and are not used in court because of their unreliability. Although you may politely refuse to take a field sobriety test, if you are arrested and asked to submit to a chemical test, you do not have the right to refuse. In fact refusing to take a chemical test in those circumstances can lead to an automatic suspension of your license for a year and a half. This is true not just in Utah but in al 50 states.
