In the state of Georgia every person who submits to testing, that is the official test at the police station or sometimes in a BAT Mobile which is a mobile breath alcohol testing unit, every person is entitled at the end of that test to say, “I would like an independent test of my blood, breath, urine or all three”. If you're going to ask for a blood test and you know a hospital nearby, it doesn’t even have to be in the same county as the one that you're sitting in when you're arrested. You can say, “please take me to Smyrna Emory Adventist Hospital or take me to Dekalb General Hospital. I'd like to take a blood test.”

The officer then has to reasonably accommodate you. That means they have to take you there. If you don't have money you can say, “please take me by the ATM, I need to get some money out of the ATM so I can pay for this”. You can also say, “I need to call a family relative or somebody to come help me with a payment for the test”. They need to reasonably accommodate you and they should. If they don't we can get their test thrown out. Even if you will blew a .226, if they don't accommodate your reasonable request for an independent test, then we will get their test excluded.
