2016Earlier in the Neville opinion, the Court had explained: “Schmerber, then, clearly allows a State to force a person suspected of driving while intoxicated to submit to a blood alcohol test.” 459 U.S. at 565 (citing Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757, 767 , 86 S. Ct. 1826 , 16 L.

2022Our Supreme Court stated that "[t]he only question presented is whether the officer's failure to check the appropriate box on the DC-27 form mandates suppression of the blood alcohol test administered by the officer." 269 Kan. at 384 .

2022Our Supreme Court concluded that "[t]he failure of the officer in this case to check the appropriate box on the DC–27 form, certifying that he had reasonable belief that the defendant was driving the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, does not automatically require suppression of the blood alcohol test results." 269 Kan. at 388 .

Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 285 Kan. 625, 635-36 , 176 P.3d 938 (2008) (considering whether illegal seizure required suppression of alcohol testing during administrative proceeding to revoke license; citing Neville and Schmerber and stating testing based on implied consent “is reasonable in light of the State s compelling interest in safety on the public roads”), abrogated on other grounds by City of Atwood v. Pianalto, 301 Kan. 1008, 1011-13 , 350 P.3d 1048 (2015); State v. Bristor, 236 Kan. 313, 315 , 691 P.2d 1 (1984) (rejecting a drivers argument challenging his express c

2013Therefore, the Furthmyer court opined a legislative intent to treat test refusal cases differently than test failure cases, so that “when a blood alcohol test is refused, the KDR need only prove a law enforcement officer had reasonable grounds to believe the person was operating or attempting to operate a motor vehicle while under tire influence of alcohol or drugs and not that the person had actually operated or attempted to operate the motor vehicle.” 256 Kan. at 836 .

2011Our Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals’ judgment: “From tire language of the statutes involved, we conclude the legislature intended that when a blood alcohol test is refused, the KDR need only prove a-law enforcement officer had reasonable grounds to believe tire person was operating or attempting to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and not that the person had actually operated or attempted to operate the motor vehicle.” (Emphasis added.) Furthmyer v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 256 Kan. 825, 836 , 888 P.2d 832 (1995).

2020However, the State conceded that 5 "Luft was not advised of his statutory rights pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 8-1001(f)." 248 Kan. at 912 .

2016Subjecting a person to a breathalyzer test, which generally requires the production of alveolar or ‘deep lung’ breath for chemical analysis [citations omitted] implicates similar concerns about bodily integrity and, like the blood-alcohol test we considered in Schmerber , should also be deemed a search.” Skinner, 489 U.S. at 616-17 .

2005Ed. 2d 639 , 109 S. Ct. 1402 (1989), the Supreme Court held: “Subjecting a person to a breathalyzer test, which generally requires the production of alveolar or ‘deep lung’ breath for chemical analysis, . . . implicates similar concerns about bodily integrity and, like the blood-alcohol test . . . considered in Schmerber [v. California, 384 U.S. 757 , 16 L.

2016For example, the Neville Court stated: “[A] person suspected of drunk driving has no constitutional right to refuse to take a blood-alcohol test.” Neville, 459 U.S. at 560 n.10 (quoted in Bussart-Savaloja, 40 Kan.

2014State v. Bussart-Savaloja, 40 Kan.

2014App. 2d 319, 323 , 916 P.2d 47 , rev. denied 260 Kan. 994 (1996), a driver suspected of driving under the influence has no constitutional right to refuse a blood alcohol test.

1998App. 2d 319 , 916 P.2d 47 , rev. denied 260 Kan. 994 (1996), the defendant’s driver’s license was suspended for 1 year by the Kansas Department of Revenue (KDR), pursuant to 8-1001, for his refusal to submit to a blood alcohol test.

2008In State v. Compton, 233 Kan. 690, 694 , 664 P.2d 1370 (1983), the Kansas Supreme Court upheld the admission into evidence of the taking or refusing to take a blood-alcohol test and found that the admission of such evidence does not violate the Fifth Amendment *928 privilege against self-incrimination.

2003While the evidence was not attacked on the ground of lack of probable cause, the court found the results of the tests were properly admitted into evidence. 226 Kan. at 495 .

1997In Barnhart v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 243 Kan. 209, 212-13 , 755 P.2d 1337 (1988), the Kansas Supreme Court considered the notice language of K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 8-1001(f)(1), which stated that upon a driver being requested to take a blood alcohol test, he or she “shall be given oral and written notice” of his or her rights concerning the test, and found it to be clearly mandatory.

1989In Hazlett *80 v. Motor Vehicle Department, 195 Kan. 439 , the court declined to require an arresting officer to inform the defendant of the consequences of refusal to take the blood alcohol test.

1980In Hazlett v. *294 Motor Vehicle Department, 195 Kan. 439, 442 , 407 P.2d 551 (1965), our Supreme Court considered a similar question of whether an arresting officer is required to explain the consequences of a refusal to submit to a blood alcohol chemical test.

1967In Williams v. Hendrickson, 189 Kan. 673 , 371 P. 2d 188 , a civil action for damages, the report of a blood alcohol test was admitted on the testimony of a doctor who withdrew the blood.

2022More recently, this court decided State v. Smith, 46 Kan.

2022Nevertheless, the Court indicated that because there is no impermissible form of coercion involved when a suspect refuses to take a test, no Fifth Amendment privilege is implicated." See also State v. Bishop, 264 Kan. 717, 723-24 , 957 P.2d 369 (1998) ("'Based on Miranda and its progeny, it is clear that [the officer's] request that defendant submit to a breath test did not qualify as custodial interrogation.

2020As the KDOR points out, Johnson's claim is somewhat difficult to discern because he appears to make three separate but related arguments: (1) The breath test results were obtained unlawfully because his consent was coerced in violation of the Fourth Amendment; (2) his procedural due process rights were violated based on Kempke v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 281 Kan. 770 , 133 P.3d 104 (2006); and (3) his substantive due process rights were violated based on State v. Ryce, 303 Kan. 899 , 368 P.3d 342 (2016) (Ryce I), aff'd on reh'g 306 Kan. 682 , 396 P.3d 711 (2017) (Ryce II).

2004To be effective, the subsequent consent must be made: (1) within a veiy short and reasonable time after the prior first refusal; (2) when a test administered upon the subsequent consent would still be accurate; (3) when testing equipment is still readily available; (4) when honoring the request will result in no substantial inconvenience or expense to the police; and (5) when the individual requesting the test has been in the custody of the arresting officer and under observation for the whole time since arrest.’ [Standish,] 235 Kan. 900 , Syl. ¶ 1.” Gray, 270 Kan. at 797 .
