There’s been a recent change in the law of the Supreme Court decision that decided I believe in late 2013 that declared statutes that required blood sample after an accident; if the cop suspected the individual of being intoxicated. It was actually regardless of whether you consent to it or not. The cop could can administer that. The Supreme Court said that’s too much of an invasion of your own personal privacy. You’re talking needles into your arm. So they upheld the right even in those circumstances to not consent to a blood test.
