On July 1st of this year a new DUI law in Kansas came into effect. This law changes the charges for refusing to provide a blood, breath, or alcohol test when you have a prior DUI charge or DUI diversion.
Now, when you refuse a blood alcohol sample, and it's been less than 10 years since your alcohol related driving infraction the first time it's a misdemeanor. The second time, a felony. This compounds your problems considerably because now, you have a DUI, an traffic infraction from failing or refusing a Preliminary Breath Test, AND a misdemeanor or felony if you refuse to incriminate yourself by providing a blood alcohol sample.
If you have a DUI or other alcohol related charge, it's important to contact an attorney to help explore your options and determine if your rights have been violated. Contact a lawyer in Manhattan, KS to help you evaluate your case.
