DUI Suspects Subjected to Forced Blood Draw - On "Suspicion" of Drunk Driving.. Needle stuck into arms, as they are strapped to a table against their will.

As if we needed any more proof of the direction this country is headed toward.

Ben Franklin once made the assertion: "Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither" I wonder what he would have to say about this forced theft of blood and assault of Americans strapping down who are not even proved to have committed a crime.

This is an obvious violation of the 4th Amendment regarding search and seizure, as these people are just accused of a crime, never found guilty, and the manner used is almost like torture- also is theft of their property- their blood, and their DNA will be stored indefinitely, even if they are innocent.

This seems like it's just another step toward the police and government letting the little people know we are all subjects- and they can do whatever they want to us and should not be tolerated.

Spanos...

I agree that this blood draw thing shouldn't be allowed....BUT...if you are a persistent offender that is still on record, 3 or 5 years, you could get a warrant for the blood draw.

Blood draws have been done for years with warrants.

In Montana if you have more than 1 on record, the cops can get a judge to issue a warrant for a blood draw for BAC. If you have never had a DUI, you can refuse and they cannot do a damn thing.


ALSO: speed cameras/red light cameras are not allowed.

I don't get it. If you refuse to submit to breathalyzer/blood draw you are effectively admitting guilt (here at least). Why would they need to forcibly remove blood from a person if they've been filmed at the roadside, refused using their constitutional rights, then strapped down? Seems to me both 4th and 5th amendments are in jeopardy here.

Georgia, you got this one wrong.

Cudos to spandos for a mainstream source and brevity. Keep it up.
