MADD strikes again, and the witch hunt continues.

Why don't we just ban booze altogether and get this crap over with?

Oh, I forgot. We already tried that.

Just out of sick curiousity, how do you draw blood "by force"? Strap the guy down? Gas him? Hog tie him and sit on his head?
And what happens if, after all that, he turns out not to have any alcohol in his bloodstream?

oh yeah, and your dna on file too, even if the test shows you had nothing stronger than a 7up.

Unreasonable search and seizure, and a presumption of guilt. The precedent will be used in other types of cases and extended quite imaginatively, as such things always are. Extended into areas of behavior that are not quite so easily vilified.

Something tells me this will not survive a serious court challenge.

Aklroyd's judge had a bone-skinning machine for scofflaws! Harsh

This has long been standard practice for military personnel operating their vehicles on military bases....of course, when you're on active duty, the government essentially owns you and your constitutional rights are modified subject to the needs of the military.

Having said that, I think it's entirely inappropriate for the civilian world short of cases where the subject is dead or incapacitated beyond acknowledging the source of their intoxication.

Oh, I forgot. We already tried that.

That was a long time ago. Tobacco doesn't impair drivers, and it's under massive assault. Why the determination not to do anything about a cancer on society that causes the death of untold thousands of guilty and innocent alike, the destroyed lives, the innocent children... Why not ban booze?

I have no problem with the cops taking blood. You forget that the people that this will be used against are breaking the law, forget that if they are innocent the blood test will show that too. DUI is not a victimless crime, it is indeed a very violent crime........what you say no one was hurt? Think about it this way....If someone shoots thru the windows of a school with kids inside, is it any less violent because no one was hit.

Drunk drivers nnow that what they are doing is wrong but decide to take the chance that they wont hurt someone. Just like the woman who took my leg did......she lost.

Stop wringing your hands about the rights of criminals, If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about,or have you gambled in the past and feel a little guilty or simpathetic.....don't just live right and you will have nothing to worry about.

PS MADD doesnt want you not to have fun! We just want you to call a cab or designate a driver so nobody gets hurt because of a BAD decision

I didn't deserve the decision that a drunk driver made!

My family dodn't deserve the decision that a drunk driver made!

And the young lady deserved a better decision than she made the day she took my leg and ultimately ended up in prison.

Hello,

And this is in TEXAS? Perhaps the state that most pushes for individuality? Good Lord.

Glad to be here, not really recognizing my county right now, MOgirl

It's still better than the breathalyzer. A blood test is actually accurate, as opposed to the breathalyzer which can be wildly off (spritz some breath freshener in your mouth and blow into one when sober - watch the reading.)

I do not understand how these nutters can have so much power. They are truly mad, in my opinion.

..."It's kind of grotesque that the government can come and take your blood."...

They've taken your homes your rights and your guns, what's left but blood?
