obtain a warrant before a blood sample can be drawn without significantly undermining the efficacy of the search, the Fourth Amendment mandates that they do so
But it's okay to override the 4th Amendment to set up "safety" road-blocks to find the DUIs? WTF????

That's another whole line of cases, but, briefly stated, the distinction that's been drawn is that briefly stopping a car and making the driver roll down the window to see if he reeks of alcohol is much less intrusive than dragging the driver to a hospital and sticking a needle into his vein.

Up here, around Albany, New York, our police never take breathalyzers tests when they are stopped on suspicion of DUI or worse.
However, the law says if you don’t acquiesce to the test you can lose your license.
Would guess losing you license is voided too.
