Phoenix DUI Defense Lawyer / Attorney Melanie Beauchamp
Implied Consent Laws in Arizona
When suspected of DUI (driving under the influence) in Arizona, you may be pulled over by law enforcement and asked to submit to a BAC (blood alcohol content) test. A BAC test is conducted to measure your blood alcohol ratio and determine if your BAC is over the legal limit of 0.08%. Under state law, all Arizona State drivers have provided consent for chemical testing just by being an Arizona driver’s licenses holder.
If you refuse to submit to a BAC test, the arresting officer may immediately obtain a search warrant over the telephone and proceed with conducting a BAC test without your permission. Under the Implied Consent Law, failure to consent to a BAC test can also result in an up to 1 year driver’s license suspension regardless of whether or not you are found to be under the influence of alcohol.
