Was my Fourth Amendment violated if CHP wanted to take my blood?

Laurie A. Schmidt
Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
In Colorado, there are express consent laws. This means that the DMV (not court) will suspend your license for one year for refusing a blood or breath test if the officer has probable cause to believe that you were driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable search and seizure without a warrant - if the police force a blood draw without a warrant that is a per se violation of your rights. So, the cop was right in that if you would have refused the DMV may suspend your license for up to a year- if the officer had probable cause to request the test. This is a rather low standard. If you are being charged with DUID-you should retain a good defense lawyer in your area to fight both the court and DMV actions. A lower level of THC may not rise to the level of impaired as required by statute.

How does one notify the DMV of DUI and have permit to drive?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Ramona R. Hallam
You need to request a hearing within 10 days of a DUI arrest. This must be done in a certain way. Appearing at the local DMV office will not do it. Upon arrest, the officer likely provided you notice of this and a temporary license (on paper). You should hire counsel to safeguard your rights.

Answered by attorney Bruce Edge (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Edge Law Firm, P.C.
Oklahoma law requires the officer to see a misdemeanor committed to make an arrest. They only way he could be arrested now(only legal way) is an out of custody affidavit based on a witness statement.
