I was arrested back in May on suspicion of driving whilst under the influence of drugs, at the time I had been assaulted and was a little shook up. Whilst being transported to the police station I was violently sick due to the amount of blood I had swallowed and was instead taken to the hospital, it transpired that I had a broken nose and cheek at the hospital, the police still wanted to blood test me so the police doctor attended, no impairment test was carried out by the police or the doctor that attended who took the blood.
I have a couple of questions.
Does the fact that no impairment test was carried out count in my favour ?
The blood sample taken was left out at room temperature for about 8 hours by the police, does this compromise the blood sample?
I was bailed after the arrest, attended and then re-bailed, when I attended for bail the second time I was advised I had no case to answer, I assumed this was because the blood test was negative but have not been told that by the police, today however I had a voicemail from the police requesting I contact them regarding attending an interview concerning the offence.
So I have a couple more questions before I speak to the police again
Do I have to attend the interview or can I refuse seen as i've already been released from police bail?
I've also been advised by a friend that that the if the police want to charge me with the offence they need to do so within 6 months of the arrest is this true?
I would appreciate your help with the above questions and any advise that you may feel relevant.
