What is The Law Relating to Chemical Tests?
In California, if you are arrested for a suspected DUI, you MUST submit to a chemical test at the detention center. You may choose whether to submit to a breath test, or a blood test. The refusal to submit to either of these gives law enforcement the right to force a blood draw from you. Furthermore, refusing to submit to a chemical test under California law can result in harsher penalties later…especially with the DMV.
