Warrants are BS anyway. In states that required one in the past, they supposedly have a “Judge” on 24/7 standby to electronically rubber stamp these blood draw requests.

I find it absolutely sickening that police thugs are given the authority to hold someone down and stick a needle in their arm without trial. These are not the actions of an “innocent until proven guilty” system.

It’s also clearly a violation of the 5th amendment protections against self-incrimination. My blood is a part of me, so to forcibly take it in order to incriminate me is equivalent to forcing me to testify against myself.

and you'll never know if proper antiseptic technique was used or if the needle is contaminated with HIV. Not all cops are competent and unlike medical staff, you can't sue them at the drop of a hat.
