Police may have asked or even forced you to submit a blood sample. Unfortunately, a court order or search warrant may not be needed in special instances. However, you have constitutional rights. Your results could be suppressed if there was:
- No reasonable suspicion to stop you in the first place
- Improprieties in the establishment or management of any DWI roadblock or checkpoint
- Unacceptable delay in analysis of your blood
- Improper procedures followed in requesting, compelling, collecting, storing, processing and analyzing the blood sample
