In Las Vegas, they will pin you to the ground and beat you if you refuse to cooperate in drawing a sample.
I should know. I said “No” and was immediately set upon.
That was a real eyeopener.
Sorry hear that, sounds like Las Vegas is further along the police state than some.
I am from Vegas (Born and raised). If I remember correctly, blood tests are NOT optional there. I don’t drink, so have never thought much about the particulars (I moved from Vegas a few years back, about the time I legally could drink, but again, I don’t), but if I remember correctly from drivers ed, you cannot refuse to be tested, or you forfeit your license. I could be wrong, but I think that if you are “suspected” of drunk driving, then they can take you to have blood drawn (or a urine sample) on the spot. If anyone knows definitively, be sure to chime in, but that’s what I recall.
LVMPD revels in their abuse of authority. I have many friends who joined the police department, and all of them but one left within a few years, because they didn’t like the dirty cop nonsense. The corruption is nearly limitless, as attested to at every turn by the scum. One of the reasons I left Vegas is because I got sick of the police corruption. I got sick of the random stops and answering where I was going and what I was doing. I never had any legal problems with LVMPD (other than their unconstitutional, and fruitless trolling), and I would never want to. They love to abuse their authority at every turn. Oh the stories I could tell, from first and second hand.
