Supreme Court of Georgia
State v. Turnquest.
May 6, 2019827 S.E.2d 865
Summary
The court held that neither the Georgia Constitution's protections against compelled self-incrimination and deprivation without due process nor the Georgia self-incrimination statute requires Miranda-style warnings before an officer asks a person arrested for DUI to submit to a breath test. It overruled the contrary precedent relied upon by the trial court and vacated the suppression order. The case was remanded for consideration of the defendant's separate claim that the implied-consent advisement was misleading. All Justices concurred.
