Law enforcement in Eugene, OR have stated they will forcibly draw blood on anyone refusing a breathalyzer this coming July 4th weekend.
Of course, drunk driving is a very serious matter. But do you agree that law enforcement can take such physical action against someone not yet convicted of a crime when they can still detain you by giving less intrusive tests, just as they have done for years?
Well cops are just following the so called commander and chief’s lead and doing what they want instead of following the law.
aint no cop sticking me with a needle
will they have a certified licensed phlebotomist on hand to extract the blood as well as a lab capable of determining the blood alcohol level, or do they plan on detaining every person who refuses until they do have the required instrumentation to extract and review the blood sample, or do they just plan on beating the blood out of the people?
It is done with a judge signing a search warrant based on probable cause you nimrods.
I don’t think this will go over to big with the American people
Now what are you scared of, Are you saying you are guilty? If so man up and if you want to do the crime and put others at risk. Don’t try to worm out of the price to save the lives of others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO ONE HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO STICK ANY NEEDLE INTO ANYONE ELSE IF ITS AGAINST THEIR WILL. THIS ACTION IS ILLEGAL AND IF THE POLICE TRY TO STICK ONE PERSON THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED THEMSELVES FOR VIOLATING PEOPLE’S CIVIL LIBERTIES. THE LAW IS CLEAR ON THIS MATTER. IF YOU REFUSE TO GIVE A BREATH TEST THEN YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOOSE YOUR LICENCE FOR NINETY DAYS.
they are already doing this in Texas and maybe other places, it will probably be the norm one day. They say they are doing it in the name of safety, maybe so but it also shows how much power the law has over us…whats next ?
Your rights going right out the door !
If it just saves one life, it’s worth giving up hard won freedoms. Such foolishness. Who is the intellectual Pygmy that thought this was a good idea?
