Q

Is a Portable Breath Test (PBT) admissible in a DUI trial?

If so, under what circumstances?

A

Yes

Pass/fail only, to show alcohol presence (can’t be used to show specific alcohol concentration)

State v Humberto (2020 OK CR 15) [cited in D21 PDR]

A

No

Stewart v State, 2019 OK CR 6; from D21 PDR

(The above case found 10-104(B) unconstitutional, as it seems to automatically permit warrantless blood draws based on the flawed logic that a GBI/death accident created a per se exigency)

134
Q

Are you REQUIRED to get a blood draw within two hours of an arrest?

A

No

Sanders v State, 2002 OK CR 42; from D21 PDR
