Re: blood test

You have the option normally of taking either the blood or urine test when an officer thinks you're under the influence of drugs. Many people are afraid of needles and a urine test is permisable. Law enforcement cannot elect to take away one of your choices without a very good reason. Thank you for your question. David Wallin at www.wallinlaw.com
