DUI Defenses: Why Not a Blood Test?
A competent DUI Attorney in Tampa or other parts of Florida must always remember that the breath test machine is not the best devise for checking a DUI suspects Blood Alcohol level. The best way to check a DUI suspects blood is to take a blood sample. Yet DUI officers almost never inform an arrested DUI suspect that he has the option to go straight to the hospital and take a blood test. The failure of the officer to afford you or another DUI suspect the right to preserve the best evidence of the true amount of alcohol in your blood stream is unacceptable. Yet it happens every night in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, New Port Richey, Brandon, and every city in the State of Florida.
Why?
Because it is time consuming and difficult. And because, while the Officer should tell you that you have a right to have a blood test taken, in Florida they are not required to do so. Still, a proper DUI Defense illustrates to the Jury that 1. Blood is the best way to test the amount of alcohol in your blood, and 2. It is not fair that the arresting officer does not tell you that you have a right to have your blood tested.
