Breath and Blood Tests in the South Bay

South Bay DUI lawyer

If you have been pulled over by a law enforcement officer in California who is suspicious that you have been drinking, it is likely that you will be asked to take a Blood Alcohol Concentration test (BAC).  You will be requested by the officer that you take this test, as by driving a vehicle in the state iof California, it is considered by law to be "implied consent" to be tested for alcohol level.  There are two types of tests that are generally used.  They are:

Breath Testing:  This test is when the officer requires you to blow into a device that measures the amount of alcohol in your system from your breath.  By law, you can refuse to take this test.  If you refuse to take the test even after your arrest, the chances are that you will lose your license for a longer period of time than you would have had you taken the test initially, even if convicted of DUI offense. 

Blood Testing:  This test is more accurate than a breath test.  There are qualifications necessary for an individual draw your blood.  After the blood is drawn, it must be sent out to a lab to test it.  You can also request an independent blood test on your blood alcohol level.
