can the police take your blood without arresting you first?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

yes if they have a warrant for dna or bodily fluid or you give consent for it to be taken. other then that no.

Answer 2

first of all the police are not medical professionals, so them taking your blood should not be a question. you must have gotten in trouble for driving under the influence??? if so the police dept can subpoena the results of a blood test from the doctors. you will not be notified until you go to court.

Answer 3

Nope! Anytime you feel you are not free to leave you are under arrest. You have a right to refuse the test. At least I don't know any states where you have to.

I hate that anyway. They are compelling you to give evidence against yourself. I think it should be unconstitutional.

Answer 4

Yes, In the USA, This is normally done as they are beating you.

Answer 5

In most states there is implied consent, ie, if you have a license, you give consent to be tested. If you refuse, they can have your license pulled for refusing.

Answer 6

In the USA? I don't think so. That would seem like an unreasonable search (and seizure).

Answer 7

They did that to me in europe.Damn transylvania police department.
