A 6-minute YouTube video by yours truly and Mark P. Ferri, about the loss of freedom in America.

I don't believe this at all. Saliva tests are not generally recognised tests for substance impairment. This was an effort to collect DNA samples for a database, straight up.
Spit at them.
Americans don’t like to admit it to themselves, but the USA is no longer the land of liberty and freedom.
There is a time to put your foot down, despite any consequences. Nonsense like this is a way to frighten and cow the public, nothing more. It is dependent on passive people. If you absolutely refuse to cooperate, even by lowering your window more than an inch or two, you win.
And if they get really obnoxious about it, you might just win the lottery. How much is appropriate for having your civil rights violated? $10 million? $50 million? Demand the upper limit.
It might be a persuasive argument to a judge that this is a sign of government arrogance, and without devastatingly punitive punishment, they will do so again, hiding behind taxpayer money. SO EVEN, you continue, if the judge is not willing to give you the money, you ask that the COURT still give them the maximum fine, even if you don’t see a dime of it.
This isn’t a game, your honor. Tyrants need to be stopped and punished, or their next tyranny will be worse. It could just as likely be to the judge and his family. Stop them now, your honor, before it gets worse. Put this company out of business.
One more time for the slow learners: cops. are. not. your. friends.
Data collected from such a "voluntary" program would be useless beyond belief, so what's going on here?
When in doubt, "Follow The Money," and you'll probably find the company contracted to perform this research is an Obama campaign contributor.
Liberal elite totalitarian thugs doing dry run research....
Damn....
4th Amendment? Unreasonable search and seizure? WTF?
The USSC ruled cops can take a DNA sample IF you’re suspected of a serious crime, but not otherwise.

American do not know their Constitutional rights and how to assert them in the moment of decision.
All of these drivers merely "complied", failing to assert and refuse; And so surrendered their rights...
Pitiful/sad...
...again... JMO
This is a violation of the 4th Amendment, IMHO.
I always carry a copy of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, my DL and CCW, and the Bible, just in case.
I happened to see this link on the TX message board and wanted to reply. Posted late yesterday with over 100 replies, but cross linking for others to see.
So what happens if you just say: “No, I don’t want to participate, and I’m in a hurry”?
I’m on my way to work and if I am late again I get canned. I am stopped by flashing lights and told that I must pull over into a parking lot to give the government sample crew a sample of my spit. Now that just doesn’t seem right, does it?
Go to a ‘bastion’ of ‘freedom’ and violate the hell out of it and see what the public outcry is. The real point of the research is to see if it's time to some more freedoms away from Americans, or if they need to wait a few year more years.
Just another way the federalies are getting American’s used to be “frisked”, in public. First frisked in airports, now being pulled over to give blood and saliva, in public. What next? Need to rid this country of these bullies in our government. If they want to frisk anyone, why don’t they start in Dearborn, MI where we have a bunch of jihadists? (living in public housing, yet)
Their mistake was saying they were testing for alcohol. Limit it to illegal drugs and few people would care.
