Mark Nicewicz, Attorney at Law, is pleased to announce that new tools are now available to challenge DWI charges involving a blood draw. The United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the Constitution prohibits warrantless blood tests in drunk driving cases. The Court found that with new technology it is usually not that difficult to obtain a search warrant before drawing the motorist’s blood.
Moreover, motorists may not be criminally punished for refusing to submit to a blood test based on implied consent rules. Implied consent laws typically require motorists, as a condition of operating a motor vehicle within the state, to consent to a blood/breath test if arrested for drunk driving. Significantly, a state cannot now insist upon intrusive blood tests and then impose criminal penalties on refusal to submit to a warrantless test.
