Arizona DUI

[cmc123]

I had a question on how many attempts they are allowed to have at drawing your blood. After passing a cops personal sized breathalyzer with a .0098 I was given a field sobriety test which I completed to the best of my ability. Then I was forced to submit to a chemical test which the officer who pulled me over tried 3 times and then another tech came and tried 2 times and the another 2 more times leaving my armed scared. I took pictures and forced them to take pictures before each person tried. I felt very taken advantage of but was forced with complying or going to jail. After 9 failed attempts in total I was taken to meet with another DUI taskforce specialist who had a machince they called the "intoxicator" which took up the back seats of a cop car and have a long tube you breath through. I had to do this once blew a .0024 wait minutes and blow again and blew a .0028
I was then driven back to my house. Yes I was pulled over 50 ft from pulling up to my house on my street. I was cited with DUI and a citation for sweving inbetween lanes. I know I need to get attorney I plan on making contact after Xmas but I wanted some updates and self information.

I doubt you are "scarred." I've seen tons of botched blood draws that haven't led to scarring. Usually you just come out with temporary bruising.

Anyhow, they are free to keep trying until they get a usable sample. The nature of the test is completely up to them. However, since they did use an intoxilizer on you, your lawyer can certainly point that number (if they help you).

Are you sure you have the right numbers. I know of no unit will read below .01 % reliably. I suspect you're remembering or formatting the numbers wrong, but your attorney probably can decipher it without problem.

No PBT field device I am familiar with goes out more than three places. That would mean that they likely got a reading of 0.098.

Understand also that even if they did get a reading that showed that you were beneath even .01 they might suspect your impairment was as a result of
drugs and not alcohol. Someone spun on meth or prescription meds will register a BAC of .000 and still be too impaired to drive.
