Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a Fourth Amendment violation occurs when the government extracts a blood sample by compelled intrusion into a person's body and then chemically analyzes that blood sample for alcohol based upon a warrant authorizing only the blood extraction, but not the chemical analysis

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Question Presented The United States Supreme Court has held that the compelled extraction of blood from a person’s body is a Fourth Amendment search. The Court has also held that the government’s chemical analysis of blood extracted from a person’s body is a Fourth Amendment search. This case presents the question of whether a Fourth Amendment violation occurs when the government extracts a blood sample by compelled intrusion into a person’s body and then chemically analyzes that blood sample for alcohol based upon a warrant authorizing only the extraction of blood, but that does not authorize the chemical analysis of the seized blood. i Il.
