Implied Consent Law

Any person who operates a motor vehicle in Arizona, and is arrested for an offense related to drinking and driving, is presumed to have given consent to a test of breath, blood, urine, or other bodily substances, for the purpose of determining alcohol concentration.

The police officer has the power and authority to determine what kind of test the driver must take, and can require more than one test.

If a driver refuses to submit to a test (usually breath or blood), the officer is authorized to obtain a search warrant and forcibly remove a bodily substance for the purpose of determining alcohol concentration (usually in the form of a blood test).

If a driver refuses to submit to a alcohol concentration test, his/her driver’s license will be suspended for up to twelve (12) months.
