DUI and forced blood draw
Question: Got a dui in Los Angeles. had blood drawn outside in elements bent over the back of police car still in hand cuffs think rights were violated?
Answer: You should talk to a DUI attorney as soon as possible. Sounds like they are going to charge you with a DUI and refusal enhancement based on forced blood draw. There are procedures that they are supposed to follow, first a proper admonition (regarding the breath/blood test), then proper procedure for doing a blood draw. Sounds like they did not follow proper procedure here, but this should be discussed further with a DUI attorney. Call me so we can discuss in more detail as I would like to get more info from you to give a more specific assessment.
