BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Paul J. Tafelski, Michigan Defense Law - Understanding the complexities of DUI/OWI laws in Michigan is crucial, especially when it comes to procedures like blood tests. In the article 'Warrantless Blood Tests for DUI/OWI in Michigan', we dive into the legal landscape shaped by the 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which significantly altered how law enforcement conducts blood draws in suspected drunk driving cases. The ruling deemed warrantless blood draws generally unlawful, contrasting with the relatively less invasive breath tests which do not necessarily require a warrant.

The implications of this ruling are profound, particularly for residents of Oakland County and beyond, as it underscores the protection of individual privacy and bodily integrity under the Fourth Amendment.
