Reading this I think some people on this thread have misintepreted the new law. Someone else upthread has posted that if you refuse a breath test, you're license is suspended for 6 months, no matter what, and the police have to prove the DWI in court. However, some judges have been throwing out the breath test as inaccurate, so someone can fail the breath test and still be let go.
The new law states that the police can now request a blood test instead of the breath test and the 6 month license suspension will apply if the test is refused.

Upon further re-reading, it appears that all that is changed is the police will be drawing the blood, instead of waiting for a doctor to be called. No new law, 180 day suspension still applies. Old trick, request the blood sample to allow extra time for the alcohol to pass through the system.

I only know what is related in the article. Looks to me like a blood draw can be forced.

Either way, it's crap and needs to be stopped.
