Coosa County DUI Attorneys and Blood Alcohol Tests

Alabama law provides for civil penalties to be levied against drivers who refuse to submit to a chemical test by blood, breath or urine. The U.S. Supreme Court and Alabama Courts have decided the police may use whatever force necessary to obtain a person's blood by force. That force is rarely used by the police. Instead, the state will enhance penalties for refusing to submit to the chemical test to encourage people to submit the chemical testing. Many drivers are unsure whether they should submit to chemical testing. When you are confronted with the decision of whether to provide a sample of your blood, breath or urine for chemical testing, you need to weigh the likelihood of a high blood alcohol reading against the consequences for refusing the chemical testing. The consequences for refusal in Alabam are a 90 day suspension of your license if you are a first offender.
