    Thread might be basically dead, but this sort of problem comes up every year about this time.

    Did you forget that there are two sides of this coin??

    1 - DUI (driving while under the influence)

    and

    2 - DWI (driving while intoxicated)
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    People who are not intoxicated have no problem blowing into a breathalizer to prove they're not.

    The mandated blood test is for these idiots that refuse to take one when suspected of drunk driving!

    Over 50% of all fatal highway crashes involving two or more cars are alcohol related. Over 65% of all fatal single car crashes are alcohol related. Over 36% percent of all adult pedestrian accidents are alcohol related. And 10's of thousands of innocent people die each year as a result of drunk drivers.

    The very next victim could be someone you love- OR YOU!

    I believe that it is a violation if it forces you to submit. The right way to go about this is to give the drunk driver a choice; going to jail or submitting. He can always have counsel meet them at the jail house.

    No one has the right to speed, drive drunk, run red lights, etc.

    you don't believe in rights, anyway
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    When they do, they should get pulled over. I should not have to sit in a line of cars to prove I am not drinking.

    So they are legal in the states that do them, but SCOTUS permits states to make the decision.

    So they are not unconstitutional.

    Permits? Does not overrule them.
    I got caught in one once when i had to go to the toilet big time and was a mile from home. It was horrible. I gave them the license and registration a bit rudely, wanting them to hurry,.

    if you need the government to tell you what it's powers and authorities are, what the constitution means, then you're a failure as an American
