do chp offices have to have a public restroom?

2 weeks ago I was pulled over for my license plate light being out. I had just left a meeting at our Elks lodge. The chp officer smelled alcohol on my breath. I blew under the legal limit. I am handicapped and I use a walker. Since he could not do a field sobriety test he wanted a blood test. He did not give me a choice he just told me I was doing it. Well he took me to the chp station. it took about 1 1/2 hours to get the blood test and paperwork done.I asked him twice if I could use the restroom and he said no. I was released to a friend and once again I asked him if I could use the restroom. He said no in front of my friend.He stated that they store weapons in the bathroom and I could not use it for this reason. My blood work came back and I was way below the legal limit and my dui is being dropped. So my question is, don't they have to provide me with a bathroom, especially since I am handicapped?

Unsure but I would think they would if you had a handicap that required you to use the rest room. You might have some one in there to make sure to don'e get rid of evidence or get the weapons if they are in there which i do not believe.

No they do not have to have facilities for the public.
