No-refusal Weekend. Cops get a warrant to draw your blood.

[acagirl98]

Is this under a state law of some kind or is it federal?

[HeinousMark]

I got really mixed and conflicted thoughts on the matter, but the first thing I remembered was several years ago, during one of these pogroms, the Ft. Worth cops arrested and jailed a drunk guy at a bar with friends...I think he might have attacked the cops fists with his face or something, too... aaaaaaaanyway, turns out the guy and his friends weren't lying when they told the cops he was stone cold sober, and has Cerebral Palsy. LOL. PWNed.

With the relaxed Texas gun laws, I'm hoping to read that citizens who weren't happy with getting their rights violated plugged some lead into a few pigs heads.......

Happy New Year!

They do this in Dallas on all the big party weekends. Some folks think its a great idea, others think it is a huge rights violation.

If you refuse the breath test, they get an instant warrant and take you downtown and draw blood.
Do they do this where you live?

Story below-



FORT WORTH, Texas -
Several North Texas police departments are going to make sure you don't drink and drive.

Fort Worth and Dallas police departments are just two of the local agencies joining the No Refusal DWI initiative starting tonight.

Starting at 6 p.m. Friday, if you are pulled over and police suspect you've been drinking, officers can obtain a search warrant almost instantly to take your blood sample.

Local judges work out of mobile command centers. If you're pulled over and refuse a breathalyzer test, the judge will sign the warrant and a trained investigator or registered nurse will take your blood.

The no-refusal initiative ends January 1.

The idea is to cut down on the number if impaired drivers on the road. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were 3,884 alcohol-involved crashes in Tarrant and Dallas counties last year.

And everyone's screaming that the 2nd Amendment is in jeopardy.

Everyone's been asleep while the 4th Amendment slowly disappears.

This is nothing. A while back, the ABC or whatever they call it here, started going inside bars and arresting customers for public intoxication. They only stopped after they did it at a couple of big hotel bars and some of the big conventions threatened to pull out and go to another city. Can you imagine Mary Kay not coming to Fort Worth?

That's some seriously fucked up shit, yo.

Oddly enough texans look at their state as one with more freedoms than the other 49? I do agree with no drinking and driving though, and if that is what it takes to stop people then so be it (friend or foe).

Yeah, that was when they arrested the guy with CP or MS or something, because they thought he was drunk.

Texas cops are a rare breed. This made National news about a week ago. The double unwarranted roadside cavity search...with no glove change inbetween.

there would be a mayoral recall if he tried that here. too many govt officials would be in the drunk tank.
