You got me so curious I'm actually looking this crap up. Okay, it says I'm correct in getting compliance in Missouri when your driver is suspected of drug or alcohol impairment, is asked for a blood sample. Rule around warrants and consent depend on circumstance. There are key issues. So let me see, under Missouri implied consent law, drivers implicitly agree to submit to chemical testing which may include blood, urine, and other, when law enforcement has reasonable grounds to believe the driver is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. If you refuse such tests, you may face administrative consequences. Under the federal constitution, though, under the Fourth Amendment, a blood draw is considered a search, and the case of Missouri versus McNeil in 2013 held that the warrant is generally required for nonconsensual blood draws in DUI cases unless egregious circumstances make obtaining the warrant impractical. There's a long explanation of this. I could go on for 20 minutes. I think I will spare you the details.
