Do I have a choice of chemical tests? Which should I choose?
In Arizona you must submit to the form of test chosen by the officer-- usually, of breath, blood or urine. You are entitled upon request to be given an sample of your breath, blood or urine for independent evaluation. But, NEVER LET THE POLICE KNOW THAT YOU ARE OBTAINING AN INDEPENDENT FORENSIC SAMPLE without first talking to our office. As an accused person, you have no burden of proof. Do not assume one!
Analysis of a blood sample is potentially the most accurate. As will be discussed later, breath machines are susceptible to a number of problems rendering them often unreliable. The least accurate by far, however, is urinalysis. Thus, if you are offered a choice of tests and you are confident that you are sober, a blood sample is the wise choice.
Urine, being least accurate and most easily impeached, is the best option if you believe your blood-alcohol concentration is above the legal limit.
