Atlanta DUI Attorney Evan Watson discusses how a an alleged refusal of state testing can affect your criminal case and driver's license in the State of Georgia.
Under Georgia's Implied Consent law, all motorist are deemed to have given consent to testing of their "blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substances" to determine if they are impaired by illegal drugs or alcohol. Often times, immediately following a DUI arrest, the arresting officer will demand a sample of your blood or breath for testing. A failure to give your permission, or even your silence will be construed as a refusal and can have serious consequences on your rights.
