Oral Argument
9/27/2010
Highlight
An arrestee has the responsibility to assert the right to an independent chemical test for intoxication.
The arrestee suffers the consequences of ambiguities in requesting an independent chemical test for intoxication when a law enforcement officer reasonably does not understand that the arrestee is attempting to assert the right to an independent test.
Law enforcement officers cannot interfere with an arrestee's attempts to secure an independent test, but unless an arrestee has done more than request an independent test, law enforcement does not need to assist the arrestee beyond providing access to a telephone.
