How do you find a criminal defense attorney in Jefferson County Colorado pro-bono please? False felony charges. Trying to reduce bail bond.

what evidence does cps need to make me take a drug test

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Thomas C Doc Miller (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It depends on the circumstances of your contact with the police. Was it a traffic stop related to a DUI? Or, was the accusation of an angry neighbor? In a traffic stop for a DUI the police can ask for a blood or breath test. A paternity suit can require you to provide DNA evidence. DOC
