What is the name of your state? Nevada
Just moved to Las Vegas and went through the crappy experience of a DUI, the first in over 13 years of driving. Just moved here from Texas about 2 months ago, and I cant believe how the police act here.
I was arrested and taken to the station and sat in a waiting room for 30 minutes, and then was asked to go to a room where they wanted to conduct a blood test to found out my BAC. I had said no to the field sobriety test and a breath test was not offered to me. When sitting in a room with 3 police officers and a nurse they asked me to take the blood test and i said no. They then repeated to tell me i needed to take the test and I refused.
Here is where it gets interesting and is my main concern and question. After a refusal of the blood test and i was sitting down in a chair, handcuffed, and not being obnoxious or stupid one of the police officers started Choking me and didnt let go until I almost passed out. I was stunned and thought my life was being threatened and was almost at my breaking point where i felt like i should defend my life and fight back. I couldnt believe it, I was being choked to death by a police officer. Well after being almost unconcious and scared for my life I gave in and took the blood test. Is this a civil case I can win? I want the blood test thrown out because of this and i am really serious about filing a charge against the las vegas metro police. Do I have a good reason to do so and based on my civil case can i get this dui case thrown out and dismissed? I am not kidding about being nearly strangled to death by a police officer, and it no such way was I violent whatsoever, I was very peaceful.
Thanks for any help
