What amount of force is permissible in a forced blood withdrawal for felony cases?

None, force is never permitted
Minimal force to ensure cooperation
As much force as is necessary to administer the test without causing harm
Force that reasonably appears necessary to overcome resistance

The correct answer is: Force that reasonably appears necessary to overcome resistance

Force is not permitted in all cases of a forced blood withdrawal for felony cases. However, in certain circumstances, force may be necessary to obtain a blood sample for testing. This option outlines that the amount of force used should only be what is reasonably necessary to overcome resistance and not cause harm. Option C suggests using any amount of force necessary without considering potential harm or excessive force. Option B also implies using force, but emphasizes minimal force, which may not be sufficient in obtaining the sample. Option A is incorrect because force may be justified in certain circumstances, such as obtaining evidence in felony cases.
