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?

I can just see that now. Maybe they didn't think of that aspect.

I think it would be more legitimate if someone refused, to just suspend their license, rather than wrestling them to the floor and removing their blood by force. That's a bit much in my opinon.

You already lose your license in Texas if you refuse a sobriety test.

Maybe they just beat the snot out of you and then pipette some up.

In such EXTREME Circumstances, shouldn't the "Defendant" be allowed to REQUIRE "Blood Tests" from his/her Accusor??

I Wonder HOW MANY 'Cops could pass the very "Drug Test" they are Demanding of the Civilians??

At VERY LEAST, the "Playing Field" should be "Level!!"

If the 'Cops are Intoxicated,--they've got NO Business Harassing the "Citizens!"

The "Playing Field" should be LEVEL!!

On the other hand, the lawyers are going to have field day with this one.
