\"supreme-court-300x237\"A little more than a year ago the United States Supreme Court decided a case that is having a significant effect on DUI cases around the country. In April, 2013, the Court decided the case of Missouri v. McNeely<\/em>, 133 S.Ct. 1552, 185 L.Ed.2d 696 (2013). This post, and several posts to come, will look at McNeely<\/em> and discuss its effect on DUI cases. This post will provide a background to that discussion.<\/p>\n

Police in the state of Missouri stopped Mr. McNeely because he was driving erratically. After field sobriety tests he was arrested for DUI<\/a>. The officer took him to the station for a breath test. Mr. McNeely refused that test. The officer then took him to the hospital where he was given a blood test, despite his refusals. The officer did not obtain a warrant for the blood test. Mr. McNeely\u2019s blood test result was over the legal limit.<\/p>\n

Mr. McNeely\u2019s lawyer filed a motion to suppress the blood test result. He argued in that motion that the police were required to get a warrant to draw Mr. McNeely\u2019s blood, before<\/strong> they drew his blood. Because they did not obtain a warrant that blood draw violated the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Mr. McNeely\u2019s lawyer asked the court to exclude the test because of that constitutional violation.<\/p>\n
