Does this help clear anything up?
"Under Utah law, a person who drives a motor vehicle is deemed to have given her consent to chemical testing of her blood, breath, and urine. In determining if the chemical testing is valid or not, the prosecutor must show that the original stop was valid. There must be a showing of reasonable cause that the motorist committed some traffic violation or was involved in some accident.
...
"However, you are not required to give a sample. As a general rule, you are your own destiny; you can consent or not consent to giving a sample. The police cannot use force or coercion to obtain the sample. There are two exceptions to this general rule.
...
"The second exception is being unconscious. Under Utah law, the implied consent law applies even to unconscious people. You still gave your consent to taking the test. Thus, the police can take your breath/blood/urine/saliva while you’re asleep."
