Is it legal to take a breathalyzer and a blood test without your consent?

Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
No it's not legal. You have to consent to the blood test. The US Supreme Court has said so. Without your consent, taking your blood is illegal and the blood can be suppressed. The Supreme Court said that taking your blood is as invasive as entering your house and to do so cops need a warrant or exigent circumstances (the fact that alcohol will dissipate is not exigent). To get the blood evidence kicked out, you need to make a motion to suppress, the cops, prosecutor or judge are not going to do it for you.

How do I find out if the DA declines to file DUI charges?

Hudson Thomas Bair
Answered by attorney Hudson Thomas Bair (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Kapsack & Bair, LLP
Many counties file on cases where the chemical test is below the legal limit, they proceed under the theory that you were still under the influence and unsafe to drive despite being below the legal limit. You should consult a DUI lawyer, often times these cases can be successfully beaten by a competent DUI lawyer.

What charges can I receive for DUI, MIP, and no operator license? Can I get a Felony charge?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Max penalty on the DUI: one year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine, loss of drivers license for a minimum of 90 days. Since you are a minor, he suspension could even go until you are 21. installation of interlock device on your vehicle, generally one year, alcohol drug evaluation and treatment (if necessary), high risk SR 22 insurance. MIP: max jail 90 days and $1,000.00 fine. No operators license: If you had a license but it wasn't on you, then it is just a fine. If you did not have an operator's license because it was suspended, then it depends upon the nature of the suspension. This charge could also carry jail time. My advice: you are in deep trouble. Get an attorney.
