I always thought that the police had to get a court order to force someone to provide evidence like bodily fluids, DNA, etc.. Also, I always thought that you could refuse a breath alcohol test. I also thought that many attorneys recommend that you refuse the test if arrested for DUI. I guess I was wrong as this case shows.
In any event I think this type of situation could be somewhat avoided by not requiring those charged with a crime to provide evidence against themselves, at least without a court order. I guess I don't trust the methods the police use or the hospital/lab personel they choose to get their evidence.
