Why were roadblocks in St. Clair, Bibb counties asking for blood & DNA samples this weekend? (AL)

So, yea, Al.com say’s the cops say “free to drive away, blah, blah”.

Sure, just like all the other roadblocks? Or not? This one was different? We promise?

Earlier, kristinn posted a link that said this was part of a government program. That they only tested people who had already been pulled over? For drug and alcohol situations? Right? Or wrong?

So, you have County Sheriffs Deputies, pulling “random” people off the road. And asking them to “voluntarily” submit to drug and alcohol tests? Really? I must be misunderstanding something. Please help..

Thank you for the “heads-up!”

Not much of an article, but at least the info is out there...
