for Your Rights

When Are Blood Tests Used?

Blood tests are usually conducted when an officer has probable cause to suspect you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These tests are common in situations where: ❊ You are unable to take a breath test (e.g., due to unconsciousness or a medical condition). ❊ Drug use, rather than alcohol, is suspected.

How Accurate Are Blood Tests?

Blood tests are considered more precise than breath tests because they measure the alcohol directly in your bloodstream. However, they can still produce incorrect results due to:
❊ Contaminated samples.
❊ Mishandling or improper storage of the sample.
❊ Errors in the testing process.
❊ Blood clotting or damage to red blood cells (hemolysis).
❊ Other substances in the blood that may interfere with results.

Defenses Against Blood Test Results

If you’ve been charged with a DUI based on blood test results, there are several ways to challenge their validity:

❊ Chain of Custody Issues: Demonstrating mishandling or contamination of the blood sample.
❊ Testing Errors: Arguing that the test was improperly administered or that the equipment was faulty.
❊ Medical Conditions: Showing that a health condition or medication could have impacted the results.
❊ Lack of Probable Cause: Arguing that the test was conducted without proper legal justification or a valid warrant.
