Respuesta :

The first answer, The police had probable cause to believe the defendant was drunk and the method of obtaining the evidence was reasonable.

For example, the defendant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sustained injuries. While at the hospital, the nurses drew blood during their normal course of business. Police could then do a search warrant for the blood results and then an arrest warrant for operating under the influence based in the blood results.
