Katherine Hepler appeals from a judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant (OMVWI), second offense. Hepler contends the circuit court erred in denying her motions to suppress evidence. She argues that Wisconsin’s Implied Consent Law, Wis. Stat. sec. 343.305, coerces consent to search and violates the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Hepler also argues that the police may not analyze a blood sample seized from an intoxicated driver without obtaining a warrant.
