Implied Consent Laws in Arizona
If you are ever pulled over for suspected DUI (driving under the influence) in Arizona, you may be asked to submit to a BAC (blood alcohol content) test. This test will measure your blood alcohol ratio and will determine if you have a BAC over the legal limit of 0.08%. Under state law, if you have a driver’s license you have already given your consent for chemical testing. Even if you refuse, the arresting officer may obtain a search warrant from a judge over the telephone in order to conduct a test without your permission. Whether or not you are found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, your driver’s license can be suspended for up to 1 year for failure to cooperate and allow law enforcement to proceed under the Implied Consent Law.
Arizona Driving Under the Influence Defense Lawyers
When you were asked to perform the BAC test, the officer should also have read you your Implied Consent Notice. Failing to do so may benefit your DUI case. At Beauchamp Law Office, as Phoenix DUI attorneys, we can explain your rights to you. Whether you agreed or disagreed to take any urine, breath or blood tests to measure your BAC, we will work to provide a strong defense for you.
It is important to note that if you are accused of aggravated DUI (you were involved in an accident which caused death or serious injury), that you agree to take blood or breath tests to avoid possible serious consequences and prison time.
At Beauchamp Law Office, as experienced DUI defense lawyers, we may be able to challenge the BAC tests due to faulty testing equipment, contamination and/or inexperienced lab personnel.
