About Blood Tests

In most situations involving the acquisition of a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC), law enforcement officers resort to taking a breathalyzer test. Due to the possible unreliability of breathalyzer tests and the fact that DUI offenders may be under the influence of drugs as well as alcohol, officers have been turning to blood testing in many cases. Blood tests are not only more accurate than breath tests; they also measure the levels of other substances such as marijuana or other drugs in the bloodstream.

Like all tests, a driver must give full consent in order for a blood test to be administered and they must have probable cause to suspect you of DUI. An officer may also take a blood test if you have injured another individual as a result of your possible intoxication.

If police officers do not receive consent from a potential DUI offender or if the officer does not follow proper procedures, any evidence gathered from a blood test may be thrown out in court. If you have been administered a blood test or refused to participate, contact a Boulder DUI lawyer without delay.
