Supreme Court rules on blood test for DUI...

[chickenman]

They will probably try to make an exception for MJ....

breathalyzers are totally inaccurate and they use them all the time for convictions.

the slick termonology of Driving "under the influence" snares everyone into their trap.

That leaves it wind open to persecute (and prosecute) anyone- for being tired, angry, drunk, stoned, on pills, etc.
Why is there no "pharmaceutical swab" to test drivers for oxy, percocet, etc. That is much more a dangerous epidemic than our wacky tobacky...

They'll bundle everyone up before it's over.

Just tell them you don't understand when they ask you to sign the form and that you need a lawyer. When they tell you refusal is admitting you're drunk--just insist that you do not understand and that you need a lawyer to explain it to you.

Refuse to sign the form, refuse to blow and just stick to your guns that you don't get it and you refuse to do anything without a lawyer. Same for the roadside sobriety test.

When I did this, I was eventually allowed to go to a room and call my lawyer (a family friend). I spent about 3 hours on the phone with him and then told the cops I'd be willing to blow. They got uber pissed, held me for as long as they could, and cut me loose.

The only way something like Hitler or Stalin will repeat itself, especially here, is if people are stupid enough to believe that someone like Obama is comparable.

There's no comparison and it honestly sullies the memory of the people who had to suffer through those dictatorships to compare Obama to them.

You're not bringing Obama down with that dumb shit--you're bringing Hitler UP. So congrats on that.

For me this isn't about protecting Obama, it's about being sure to demean and shame Hitler and Stalin the way the deserve to be demeaned and shamed.

As far as shit not being ideal here, I'm on board--hell I'm even on board to some degree with the police state shit--but let's call a duck a duck. No one should be in the business of making Hitler seem better than he was.

Yep, and here is how the trap is "Set" You are not driving on A Federal Drivers License, it is A "Privilege" that is granted to you on A state by state basis. Most, if not all states have this little clause when you apply for your license... Read the fine print!

Implied consent and driving while intoxicated:
See also: Drunk driving (United States)
All U.S. states have driver licensing laws which state that a licensed driver has given his implied consent to a field sobriety test and/or a Breathalyzer or similar manner of determining blood alcohol concentration. These laws have generally been upheld by courts as a valid exercise of the states' police power, against challenges under the Fourth Amendment (as a reasonable search and seizure) and Fifth Amendment (as not violative of the right against self-incrimination). This is largely because in the United States, driving is considered a privilege rather than a right, and the state has a legitimate interest in keeping dangerously intoxicated drivers off the road, to prevent injury, property damage, and loss of life. In most states, however, the police must have reasonable grounds for administering a sobriety test.[1]

Reasonable grounds can be anything that an officer decides is reasonable grounds (Your eyes are Red) so if you think your going to win against the "man" by sighting the above case, and taking it to the supreme court, think again... Just look at the state by state example of marijuana laws vs. federal marijuana law... Federal law is not always the law of the land and this is all the proof that you need of that...
