Arizona DUI Blood Test Issue

The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled on a blood test issue involving the police. The decision they came to was that police must get a search warrant in order to require a blood test in a DUI arrest. There is one exception to the requirement and that occurs when the suspect clearly provides consent. However, failure to object does not count as clear consent. As usual, the consequence of refusal will still be a mandatory license suspension.
