DUI / DWI Law Answers
North Carolina DWI suspects do have the right to refuse chemical testing of their blood or breath; however, evidence of that refusal is admissible against the DWI arrestee in court. North Carolina DWI law does require the police to assist the suspect in obtaining independent tests if the person is still in police custody. This means that the driver is to be allowed access to a phone to arrange the independent test.
