The officer could get a phlebotomist to draw blood from you against your will.<\/p>\n<p>A recent Supreme Court decision clarifies whether a search warrant is necessary before a police officer can force a blood draw. In <em>Missouri v. McNeely<\/em>, in a majority opinion written by Justice Sotomayor, the Court held that the police officer must obtain a warrant from a judge before performing the blood draw if there is reasonable time to do so. If you have a current DUI case, in which blood was drawn against your will, talk to your lawyer. It is likely that the blood was taken without a search warrant and that <em>McNeely<\/em> gives you a legal defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re stopped for a DUI late at night.
