    Who does the blood draw though, police officers? I wouldn’t really trust them near veins.

      They’ll take you to the nearest healthcare center / ER basically.

      Nowadays most don’t really demand that right, as there’s “accuracy breathalysers”, which are acceptable as evidence, so usually you’ll just use one of those at a police station or the back of some police vans. I’m unsure whether you can still refuse those for a blood test though.

      But yeah no the police aren’t allowed to draw the blood, that’s for sure.
