However, the constitution states that juveniles who are ages 15 or older and who are accused of murder, armed robbery, forcible sexual assaults, and other violent crimes will be prosecuted as adults instead of as juveniles.

• Assault
  If you do refuse, the officer can then phone a magistrate in order to secure a “telephonic search warrant”. Once they receive this document, the officer will show it to you. At this point, if you do not cooperate in giving blood, the officers have the authority to hold you down and forcibly take the blood. It is always wise to agree to give blood once you are actually shown the search warrant. If you do physically resist, you can be cited with Obstruction of Justice, Aggravated Assault on an officer, Interfering with Judicial Proceedings, and a whole bevy of other charges.
