[2007] EWHC 1138 (Admin)

Where a man accused of driving with excess alcohol had consented to give a blood sample for analysis subject to a condition that the sample could only be taken by a doctor and not a nurse, the fact that a police officer made a wrongful threat of prosecution for failure to provide a blood sample, which had led to the accused conceding that condition, had not invalidated the blood option procedure nor rendered the resulting evidence of blood alcohol levels inadmissible.
