Issues Your Legal Advisor Will Raise To Challenge The Use Of DWI Test Results Obtained Without Your Consent
Christopher Wilson
Law enforcers have a right to use different strategies to obtain evidence when they suspect a driver is intoxicated. One of them is conducting a blood test to determine whether the suspect's alcohol content is more than the recommended limit. Unfortunately, some officers draw blood without seeking the motorist's consent. This is unlawful, and a DWI attorney can challenge the use of the test results as evidence in your case. They might raise the following issues to dispute their validity.
There Was No Reason to Arrest You
Your lawyer will start by evaluating your file to determine why the police apprehended you. If the report does not indicate a justification for your arrest, your lawyer can argue that the arresting officer had no right to draw your blood. Therefore, they will request the judge not to allow the police to use the test results as evidence. Such a move may weaken the case, and the jury might throw out your case for lack of evidence.
However, this may not be easy because the police want to prove that they have a genuine case against you. For example, they might argue that you drove recklessly before the arrest. These facts may not be justifiable reasons for your arrests, and your lawyer will ask the judge to dismiss the evidence the law enforcers presented in court.
The Law Officers Did Not Have a Warrant
The law enforcers may get a warrant to allow them to compel you to take tests if you don't do it voluntarily. This will give them the essential information they need to prove their case. However, officers must show you the warrant before they draw your blood. In addition, your lawyer needs to go through the warrant to ensure that the officer's affidavit has sufficient facts to establish probate cause. For example, it might include sufficient facts to show that you committed a DWI, and they want to undertake the test to prove that you were intoxicated.
Your legal advisor will deter the law enforcers from undertaking the tests if they don't have a search warrant. Or their affidavit does not have enough facts to support the search. In addition, they will challenge the results generated after the officers force you to take a blood test.
Drawing blood without your consent after a DWI arrest is illegal, and you can challenge this act. However, you want to enlist the services of a DWI lawyer to help prove that the officers violated your rights. They will raise the above arguments and any other ones that will prove the tests' legitimacy and results.
