Local Cops Want Ability to Draw Citizens’ Blood Year-round

Police in Central Texas are proposing a year-round “no refusal” policy, which would allow officers to draw blood from people merely suspected of driving under the influence.

The Austin Texas Police Department is in the process of seeking funding for the unconstitutional scheme, an initiative Chief Art Acevedo claims will reduce traffic fatalities and collisions.

During a “no refusal” traffic stop, police can forcibly extract blood or breath samples against a person’s will after that person refuses sobriety tests.

It's already unconstitutional to draw blood from a suspect. No man ever has to provide evidence against him. It's why you can refuse all tests. A order from a judge would be needed yet law makers passed these laws . The police are out of control with power. And there are idiots allowing laws to be made that give them this power. No law should be made that violates the Constitution or Bill of Rights.
