When is a forced withdrawal of a chemical test acceptable?

The suspect must be in custody and the officer must have a reason to believe the suspect is intoxicated; the blood is taken in a medically approved manner; and only reasonable force may be used to restrain the arrestee
Anytime a suspect is in a public space
When the suspect consents verbally
Without any specific reason, as long as the officer deems it necessary

The correct answer is: The suspect must be in custody and the officer must have a reason to believe the suspect is intoxicated; the blood is taken in a medically approved manner; and only reasonable force may be used to restrain the arrestee

A forced withdrawal of a chemical test is only acceptable when certain criteria are met. Option A outlines the necessary conditions for a forced withdrawal, including the suspect being in custody and the officer having reasonable belief of intoxication. This is important for ensuring that the test is conducted fairly and accurately. Option B is incorrect because simply being in a public space does not warrant a forced withdrawal. Option C is also incorrect because a verbal consent from the suspect does not necessarily mean that the forced withdrawal is justified. Option D is incorrect because the officer must have a valid reason for conducting a forced withdrawal, as opposed to arbitrarily deeming it necessary.
