Georgia DUI Law is VERY Protective of Your Independent Testing Rights AFTER Submitting
Submitting to the OFFICIAL chemical test of your blood, breath or urine entitles you to request to be taken to any and all TYPES of additional tests that you want, and from qualified personnel of your own choosing. Your refusal to take the State’s OFFICIAL tests BLOCKS you from being assisted by police personnel in demanding any type of independent test or tests. The police or jailers MUST “reasonably” accommodate your requests. YOU get to choose where (within reason — even in an adjacent county) you want to be taken for purposes of gathering your own independent evidence of your alcohol readings or (if given blood or urine tests by the officer) your own evidence of your prescribed or illegal drug levels from an analysis of your blood, breath or urine (or all three, if your request it and designate WHERE you wish to be taken and PAY FOR all types of testing). You need to be prepared to pay for any and all tests you request, and can ask permission to be taken to an ATM for cash, or to call a friend or family member who resides close by, who can bring money or a means of payment for any or all tests you desire.
