Every American should be enraged !!

It is actually a good idea. They did this when we were living in Germany.. BUT it was only if you refused to take a breath test. I would do whatever it takes to keep drunk drivers off the roads.

I am all for keeping drunk drivers off the street and think we should have stiffer laws when it comes to drunk drivers, but I dont like this at all. Its the part saying they will hold you down if they need to..."They'll use force if they need to, such as getting help from another officer to pin down a suspect and potentially strap them down, Watson said."

Come on guys, you are the same people on here talking about Obama and how we are losing more and more freedom each day. But you are ok with this????

Really, I find that hard to believe. Maybe you are ok with it because it is out in Idaho, well when the Middletown Police are running around wielding syringes we shall see if you feel the same way.

So lets see if we have a mobile tech on call to drive to all DUI scenes and draw the blood that is ok, I don't see the difference.  If they want to refuse, simple take their license for 2-3 years.

A police officers job is to keep the peace and maintian law. Not drawing blood !! Thats why there are nurses for that job. Now if they take you to jail and they have a nurse there qualified to do the job then fine. Nothing wrong with that. But for cops on the side of the road possibly using force to draw it ?

Wouldn't it be nice if you were on the back of that car having your blood drawn? Yep thats right were I want to be.

Something just dawned on me. Wouldn't it be easier to froce a guy to take the breath test then to draw blood? I just think it might be esaier to hold a persons nose closed stick the breath test in his mouth at some point he will breath. I can not wrap my head around the need for blood. I am with you hermes were is the blood going after the FORCED test?

I didn't see the part where they would do it on the side of the road.. I should have added that if you didn't agree to the breath test in Germany, they hauled you to the Police station where a doctor did the blood draw.. not the actual police officer. So that way, the officer would be safe.
