5. Crowley & Ray: If you are suspected of DUI in Gulfport, the police may ask you to provide a sample of your blood for testing to determine your blood alcohol concentration, or whether you are under the influence of another substance that interferes with your ability to operate a motor vehicle. The same rules apply to blood tests as apply to breath testing. If a police officer has reasonable grounds and probable cause to believe a person has operated a motor vehicle upon the public roadways while under the influence of alcohol or another substance, the officer may request that the person provide a blood sample to determine whether he is under the influence. A driver who refuses to provide a blood sample at the request of a law enforcement officer will face a suspension of his driver's license in accordance with the Mississippi Implied Consent Law. Generally, if a driver refuses to provide a blood sample, the officer will make no further attempt to obtain the blood sample. However, in certain cases, the police may attempt to obtain a search warrant to obtain the driver's blood. This usually occurs when the driver has been involved in an accident. A police officer may be able to obtain a search warrant for a driver's blood if he can demonstrate probable cause to believe the driver was driving under the influence. This showing must be made to a "neutral and detached" judge. If the judge finds probable cause to believe the driver was driving under the influence, the judge will issue the search warrant. After the search warrant is issued, the officer may then go to the hospital and obtain a sample of the driver's blood. It is important to note, however, that the hospital does not have to draw the driver's blood simply because a police officer has a search warrant. The hospital may refuse to draw the driver's blood if the driver refuses to consent. This situation usually arises when a nurse or other hospital personnel would have to forcibly draw the driver's blood.

10. Crosby, Michael: Although they are most often referred to as Òcriminal rights,Ó the constitutional rights that our forefathers imbedded into our Constitution were never intended to help guilty people evade justice. To the contrary, the Constitutional rights which many of the finest Americans have sacrificed their very lives for are in place to protect the innocent from the tyranny of persecution.
11. Holleman, Boyce: ow serious is DUI/DWI? DUI/DWI is a serious problem. Thousands of Americans are killed each year in DUI/DWI accidents. Although many of those accidents result in the death of the intoxicated party, a significant and unfortunate number involve the death of "innocent" parties who were in the wrong place at a time when someone chose to drive a car while impaired. DUI/DWI is dangerous both for those individuals who choose to operate a car under the influence and for those individuals who are on the road at the same time. In addition to the severe physical injuries that may result from a DUI/DWI accident, there are also serious emotional and mental scars that may never fully heal for either the offender or his or her victims.
12. Davis, Jim: A drunk-driving offense may land you in jail for the night, but ultimately it can result in much more serious consequences, including loss of your driver's license, a lengthy jail or prison sentence, significant fines and a criminal record that will follow you for the rest of your life. Whether you are a first time offender or you are facing a second or third DUI/DWI charge, it is critical that you consult with an experienced defense attorney regarding your case. With So Much at Stake, Don't Take Chances Penalties associated with a DUI/DWI arrest or conviction can be severe. You may face several days, months or years in jail, depending on whether it is a first, second or third offense. In addition to fines that can reach into the hundreds or thousands of dollars and loss of your driver's license, you may face higher insurance premiums and a criminal record. Loss of License and Drunk Driving Losing your driver's license is something you cannot afford, especially if your occupation depends on it. If you have been charged with a DUI/DWI, you will face an automatic license suspension by the Department of Public Safety (DPS). Thus, after a DUI/DWI charge, you must act quickly. You only have 30 days to appeal the suspension or you will waive your rights to challenge the action.
13. Coxwell & Associates: A DUI charge that at first glance seems hopeless can often abound with factual or constitutional defenses. For example, the officer may have made an unconstitutional stop; a brief investigatory detention to check a driver's license may exceed its lawful scope; an unconstitutional roadblock may have been conducted; improper field sobriety tests may have been administered; the officer may have given the tests improperly, etc. The list goes on and on.

    How Police Officers Determine Intoxication
    Depending on the state, officers are permitted to use a variety of tests to ascertain intoxication. The types of analyses can be grouped into two types - tests that require the suspect to actually do something (also referred to as evidentiary tests), and tests where the suspect is not asked to take any action by an officer (also referred to as preliminary tests).

    Evidentiary Tests Include:

    1. Blood sample
    2. Standing on one leg
    3. Touching nose
    4. Breath testing - blowing into tube
    5. Walk a straight line
    6. Horizontal gaze nystagmus test (HGN) - officer tests the amount of eye-jerking in the suspect when an object is made visible to him or her

    Preliminary Tests Include:

    1. Smelling of alcohol
    2. Unable to stand up straight
    3. Unable to walk properly
    4. Slurring speech
    5. Bloodshot eyes
    6. Poor or erratic driving
