How an Atlanta DUI Lawyer Could Help

It is illegal in Georgia to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more. However, in order to conduct an arrest for DUI the officer must have proof that your BAC is above the legal limit. In order to prove that your BAC is .08% or higher, the officer will test your BAC by means of either a breath test or a blood test.

DUI Blood Testing

Blood testing is a common modality for determining BAC. To conduct a blood test a technician at the police station will draw a sample of the driver's blood for analysis. If the technician finds that the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream reaches or exceeds the legal limit, the driver will be charged with DUI. It is important to remember that every state, including Georgia, operates under the implied consent law. This means that if you refuse to undergo a blood test for alcohol testing, the court will assume it was because you knew you were guilty.
