Schmidt's driving privileges were revoked after a blood test, obtained via a search warrant following her refusal of a breath test, showed her blood alcohol content was above the legal limit. The trial court initially sustained the revocation but later reversed itself, finding the search warrant invalid due to inaccuracies and post-issuance alteration, and excluded the blood test results. The Director of Revenue appealed. The appellate court reversed the trial court's amended judgment, holding that a warrant was constitutionally required for the blood draw and that the warrant issued was valid despite minor inaccuracies and improper alteration, remanding the case for further proceedings.","primaryTopic":"search-and-seizure","topicSlugs":["search-and-seizure","criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=167253","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/robin-l-schmidt-respondent-v-director-of-revenue-appellant-108175","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
