Missouri DWI Implied Consent Advisories

Implied Consent Advisories

Every person who operates a motor vehicle in the state of Missouri is deemed to have given his or her consent to have his or her breath, blood, urine, or other bodily substances tested for alcohol and/or drugs. This is known as Missouri's "Implied Consent" law. You are presumed to know and understand your rights and responsibilities concerning the testing of your bodily fluids in relation to a DWI arrest.

The police officer will choose what type of test to offer. You do not get a choice in that matter. Under Missouri law, however, you are allowed 20 minutes to contact a lawyer about whether or not to submit to a test. Good luck finding one near his telephone after midnight on a Saturday night.

You also have the right to obtain your own test of your body fluids by a physician, qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse or other qualified person after you have submitted to the officer's requested test.
