San Antonio Cops Force Blood Test on Drivers.

[diejohnnydiediedie]

The "No refusal weekend" requires the officer to obtain a warrant if a DWI arrest is made and the individual refuses a breathalyzer test. If probable cause does not exist then the arrest probably would not have been made and the judge will not sign the warrant. If you think obtaining a warrant is based on probable cause is a violation of your 4th Amendment right, then go back and read it. The easy solution is don't drink and drive and don't tolerate other doing it.

[diejohnnydiediedie]

Ok, here's the deal. What this is if the police suspect you of DWI they can get a warrant, based on probable cause and take your blood in order to test it's alcohol percentage. The blood is taken by a registered nurse, not the police officer.The warrant is first reviewed and signed by a judge, who determines if the officer has probable cause to take the blood. An officer can do this any day of the week, not just on "No refusal weekends."

[remsensor]

Here in Wyoming they just passed a law stating anyone suspected of driving under the influence must submit to a breath blood or urine test. Yeah my rights went out the window and ill blow in your little breath machine but if a cop tries to stick me with a needle there is going to be problems.

[knowhaturtlkngabout]

everybody screaming about rights being violated.....WRONG again by all the people jumping on board with the same old crap

if a judge signs a blood draw warrant your blood will be taken.....period, no violations of rights--its a warrant just like a search warrant given then your car/home is searched

its that simple, follows laws and constitution, some people are just too ignorant or stupid to understand, others are just against the law being enforced, I was almost killed by one, I say good job

[GeneralKenobiSIYE]

Susan Reed is a fucking cunt.My cousin was t-boned while driving hoe one night by a rich fuck kid who was piss drunk. My cousin had a blood alcohol level well below the limit, yet HE got 1 year in jail, and the fucking rich kid got off with nothing. Fuck Susan Reed. I hope she dies in a fiery car wreck. Stupid Nazi bint.

[hmsixsixsix]

you take my blood and I will take your life.... simple.

[TexasStupid]

Susan Reed = Female Hitler. And just because some hispanic is bent out of joint because there was a death in her family doesn't mean you all have to submit to slavery or increase police power till you are enslaved. It doesnt matter what Ms Hitler says about what the law provides and doesnt provide. The law will be enforced at "police discretion" just as it always has been. They want to coerce you to plead guity, make false charges, harass you, assault you, lock you up, rape you, they will.

[TexasStupid]

Some people are killed in dwi accidents translates into more power for the police and you trust them with those needles? And their badge bunny nursie friends? They'll stick you and inject you with whatever they want to stick you and inject you with and there wont be a damn thing you can do about it. Burden of proof is on them? Really? So 2 or 3 cops pull a nice young lady over and the law says they cant abuse her? Who's enforcing the law at that time? You?:LOL fools you are OWNED!

[TexasStupid]

The fact is police can do whatever they want whenever they want. The law says this, the law says that. Many of you clowns out there break the laws yourselves then profess innocence. Guess whatr clowns? Then police also break laws. And they lie. Who is going to force the police to be ethical with those needles? They can jab you and stab you and you pay for it with your taxes and all those unaccounted for tickets.; The law doesnt allow cops to abuse you with needles? So the wont do it right?Stupid

[TexasStupid]

NOTHING is stopping cops from pulling you over for any reason or no reason at all. Fools gonna believe police "discretion?" Just because pigs tell you that they saw this or that doesnt mean theyre telling the truth. Enabling needle laws makes it easier than ever to jab you repeatedly, shove the needle all the way thru your vein, threaten your daughter with the needle if she doesn't plead guilty or "constent" to whatever mr police officer desires. You are a pack of fools.

[spineadjuster13]

commie scum

[sneakers55]

@iamthebest91 Just be glad you're not on Clozaril. You'll be on a first-name basis at the lab. And with blood tests, you can have major changes in a short period of time. I once had my potassium level drop from normal to dangerously low in 36 hours. Yes, blood tests suck.

[sneakers55]

@1EarthCitizen The person who takes your blood has to be a licensed medical professional. Peace officers do not qualify unless they have been to school.

[sneakers55]

Harris County (metro Houston) every weekend for the next three years will be a "no refusal" weekend. They got a Federal grant to pay for it.

[ToBeFree777]

This is Unconstitutional and Illegal! I don't care what they say! It is Bull Shit!

[MrGhostXMASpast]

i seriously doubt that with the polices current reputaion for abusing powers and forgetting their conduct that any of them will be able to take blood without hurting anyone.

i also seriously doubt they will even be trained properly to take blood.

people are going to die from this i'm sure

[logansGT]

This is out-f 'in-rageous!!!

They made me take a blood test last week.....I stayed up all night studying for it, and it's a good thing that I did. I wouldn't have passed it, otherwise.

Btw, did you hear about the two corpuscles who met in vein?

[superwhiz88]

well its Texas .. the repuliscum state.. and all you still talk about commies nation.. i guss its started in great state of Texas .... hahhahahhah .. go ask your rush noball for answers..

[WelfareRobot]

So the government gets to jab a needle in your arm now, against your consent? "In the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"

[1EarthCitizen]

Nobody has to give their blood....a low life ignorant cop using a needle on you to take you blood is totally unconstitutional. If this ever happens, you can call the ACLU and sue the bastards!!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR BLOOD and have some underpaid, low life cop stick a needle in you....get a lawyer...call the ACLU!

[samten10a]

@1EarthCitizen She said she had a judge standing be to issue a search warrant for the blood. If the cop witness enough Your are screwed.  Aclu will just laugh at you.

[VIJUMPMANIV]

"I don't like people sticking needles in me" LMAO idk why thats soooo funny :D

[theshaggyshow]

If u don't like it, little whining, spoiled, drunk liberals, STAY OFF THE STREET !!! sick of u morons driving drunk...

[Neanderthalcouzin]

To the people who came up with this forced blood test idea: f*ck you you f*cking weirdos.

[ivvio]

To the person that created this video, you are an idiot! People are getting killed because of drunk drivers. If you don't want you blood taken without your permission, get a taxi.

[sevski210]

That is insaine... talk about cruel & unusual.

[iamthebest91]

I had a blood test in late June. My mom has told me though that they need another blood test because they couldn't come to a conclusion about what was wrong from the first one. Why would they need another one? I believe it was Einstein who said if you expect different results from doing the same thing then you are insane. Seriously how much blood do they need? Fuck forced blood tests. Its vampirism as far as I'm concerned.

[llshamelessll]

this is a violation. when the government wont respect the law, why should we?

the day of reckoning is coming.

[MrBarryEl]

This is the most gutwrenching police action I've ever heard. Roadblocks and forcible extraction are things associated with regimes we struggle to disband. That our own police would perpetrate so many constitutional rights violations is unconsciounable!

Be careful, proponents, not to let your guard down. These rights violations affect everyone, not only those from whom you seek protection. I find the degree of complacence here equally as disturbing as the affront.

[FELON1870]

bio tox

[FELON1870]

we give blood they $ell it back 2 us. no ones blood or life should be taken unless you fail to submit 2 breath or kill some one wake up drunk drivers give free blood an there money no one should be injured in any way, a text message = 4 shots of Bacardi .DNA is like giving sperm or your eggs away 4 FREE fuck this country. FREEDOM should be free

[yums111]

i dont drink and drive.

let me puch your faces in and take yalls blood.

its not a crime if i drive and look drunk

[h00ked99]

Yes! It's about time!  Time for criminals to be held accountable... if you don't like it, then don't get behind the wheel after you've been drinking. Enough people have been killed by drunk drivers!! If you are worried about anyone's rights, it should be the rights of ALL citizens to have safe roadways. Drunk drivers infringe on all of our rights... even their own!

[PattyTrish65]

Don't like how this country is going? Maybe you should of voted Republican :)

[pryncyssab]

It's about time.!!! Way to Go SAPD! Dumbass shouldn't be drinking and driving in the first place. No one's rights are being violated that deserve to be.

[stealth007007]

No one rights being violated???? How about you cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself? How about the 4th Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizure? How about there is no crime unless there is a victim? How about being innocent before proven guilty? You, sir, would be a nice little Nazis.

[killergames187]

Are you fucking nut?"No one's rights are being violated."Ok i will come to year house and stick my foot in your ass and thin you will be violated!!

[wes654654]

Are you a fucking retard?? Do you even know what the 4th amendment to the constitution is?

Hey retard try to keep up. Lets say your pulled over and they want to take your blood. You refuse cause its your constitutional right, but they force you down anyway and an OFFICER not a nurse or trained pro keeps stabbing you until he hits a vain a draws blood. This has happened to people and its wrong.

IF ANYONES RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED IT MEANS YOURS ARE 2 BECAUSE YOUR RIGHTS ARE NO LONGER GUARANTEED

[miguelflyat04]

No rights being violated??? LOL... Hilarious!!!! As a member of a family of NON-Corrupt Police officers... YOU ARE WRONG!!!! Then again... why should I be surprised about this? This is a country that is VIOLATING its own laws, its own Constitution, and is forcing people to live they way THEY WANT YOU TO LIVE. Think whatever you like... That is your freedom of course... But beware of whats coming!

[chevroletcowboy21]

its called a blood warrant we do them all the time. especially when they blow over the limit on a pbt and refuse to blow into the breathalizer

[Spartansoldier217]

well drunk driving kills people trust me i know this. so if you're stupid enough to not take the breathalyzer then you had it coming to you

[kristoflaw]

I'm sorry to say, it's my opinion, but that is a hard edge stance which the government is waiting to hear. Regulation IS being passed which is controlling means of communication. In the minor sense of this we will be watched by law-enforcement to uphold the laws of various counties, states, countries, etc. However, they have changed the laws between travel between Canada and the United States through terrorism acts which do cause me concern. I'm runnning out of character space so... I do agree s

[jjjazzycraig]

reid is a cunt

[DeputyRabbit]

There is a simple solution here people. Don't drive while your intoxicated stupid!

[HJW018]

That is to far.

[RU4PKR]

can you believe the sheeps' comments here? ... wake up folks ... grow some balls or get in line for the grinder!

[alexomnislash]

DONT DRIVE DRUNK U FUCKIN MORONS

[mjp556]

This is bullshit. Just don't drive drunk. If you're drunk just take the breathalyzer and accept responsibility for your actions. Don't be an idiot and take the needle and then call it unconstitutional, it was your choice.

[TheOriginalEntz]

This is NOTHING! In Waterloo, Ontario they recently passed a law where if they SUSPECT you are driving drunk they can take you down to the station and take your blood, spit, urine, fecal matter, hair, nail and store your DNA on file even of you turned out to have a blood alcohol level of zero. Refusing this is against the law. Wohoo.

[KevinMartinOWS]

Susan Reed needs to be shot

[elizabeth13000]

wow, what ever happen to people actually being accountable for their actions! don't drink and drive! it's that simple! it could be your family on the road! stop this invasion on privacy!

[djchrisdubs]

this is bullshit, they can take my sample from my main vain.

[drok210]

Susan Reed is a fucking PIG!!!!

[000stryke3000]

☆☆☆☆☆

[chiledoug]

you know what if its against the constitution its against the constitution.......period..in my state if you refuse... you get the same sentance the same fine so whats the problem...

[rundoetx]

Just one more freedom lost.

Campaign For Liberty

RundoeTX

[satchmo855]

This isn't just another loss of liberty. It's absolutely criminal. They extract your blood on a suspicion? Threaten you with a "sharp, pointy object"? I smell a LAWSUIT.

[mchtb1966]

And you will lose. Besides, who would you sue? the judge?

It isn't loss of liberty if you're driving under the influence and you get stopped by the cops. If you refuse the test and there is enough evidence for a judge to issue the warrant, then there isn't anything you can do.

Just don't drive while under the influence. It's really not that difficult to comprehend.

[srudlak]

thanks for your description!

jepp, dont drink (or anything else) and drive - i share this opinion. law isnt that bad ;)

[srudlak]

ehm, here i europe it is already usual... - just dont refuse the breathalyzer.

[neworleansrocks]

but that is voluntary.

[srudlak]

no, no - if the police stops you and they have any suspicion that the driver took any alcohol or drugs, they demand a test. when the driver refuses he'll be forced to a bloodtest.

As a driver i think this is ok and necessary. As the woman said its no good, if someone drives drunken - its too dangerous. Dont drink an drive! :)

[deluxchixbone]

bullshit that is unconstitutional .

Your a fukin socialist

[srudlak]

lmao, dude :D

[mchtb1966]

Actually, when the driver refuses the test, the police goes to the judge, and the judge issues a warrant for the blood.

If there isn't suficient evidence, then there isn't a warrant for the blood.

But I do agree with you, just don't drink and drive.

[srudlak]

what WAS the alternative, when someone refused the breathalyzer? was he put in jail?

[mchtb1966]

Actually if you refuse the test and a warrant is issued for your blood, the blood is drawn and sent off. If it comes back over the limit a warrant is issued for your arrest.

That is unless it is 100% obvious that you're under the influence, then if you refuse, you do go straight to jail.

[LOWZ0427]

WTF,FUCKING SAPD...

FUCK SA POLICE

[mchtb1966]

Typical response, someone else who thinks that they have more rights than the rest of us.

[skizo63]

this sounds like nazi stormtrooper tactics to me... whats next....

[mchtb1966]

How about this for what's next. People actually stop drinking and driving.

nazi stormtroopers are actually those people who get drunk, then get behind the wheel and kill our loved ones. Then cry because they get in trouble, like they should have more rights than the people they just killed.

[DeletedDelusion]

Just don't drink and drive.

[JuliaWinters]

And in Russia in general if the person does not want to breathe in a tube it bring in hospital and take there blood.

[bebop54]

yes that is much more reasonable than being stuck with injection by law enforcement ...

[mchtb1966]

bebop54, that is what they are talking about. Law Enforcement has a doctor or a nurse on stand by at the hospital to draw your blood. Not one single law enforcement officer has ever, nor will ever draw anyone's blood. I hope that you understand that because they even say that in the video.

[GenerationVictory]

they are us and we are losing...

sorry but this is going to get worse because ppl actually believe that they can vote and change things. The masses are convinced they are making things better and that disguised tyranny is good for us. Sorry ppl, we are losing because we are NOT fighting back. Think about it, it is a criminal act to fight back against government "officials" or policy. what are you going to do about it, nothing...

[mchtb1966]

GenerationVictory,

It is a criminal act to get drunk, then get behind the wheel of ANY vehicle. If you don't drink and drive, then you won't have to worry about any of this. But if you do drink and drive, then I can understand why you would be against it.

[waveoflight]

Police State

[happyrichie]

man u guys are fu cked, hurry up and finish this revolution so i have some were safe to go, the uk sucks but its no were near that bad. go on, all u need is a few thousand to march in the whitehouse and the pentagon and its done, i dout the retard cops would follow orders, they just intimidate

[wingnut4427]

They want DNA ... That's all ! I guess Monsanto needs Human specimens to cross with vegetables so they can give you diseases through what You eat.

[bebop54]

i agree wing' ..theywant DNA ..

as far as monsanto ?

they've been at it 20 years already ...

there are already unidentified virus' in the GE food ....

everyone must make the effort to stay away from it !

[mchtb1966]

wingnut, get real. Don't you guys EVER get tired of these conspiracy theories?

[wingnut4427]

Only a fool trusts a government who is run by corrupt men.

[mchtb1966]

winnut, you said "they" want DNA, talking about us cops. But everywhere it is said that cops are public servants and work for the public...

so does that mean "you" want the DNA? if your problem is with the government then say so, because I have nothing to do with that, other than to uphold constituational laws.

[wingnut4427]

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I have just seen so much undermining of our freedoms over the past 20 years it boggles the mind. I just wish to god everyone would just tell these scum bags " NO !! No more of this shit !! " very flustered over here seeing My country die. :|

[xfdny]

americans are cowards. all scared to riot, and engage in civil disobedience. nothing will change until you are prepared to die for what's right. patriots are not willing to shed blood to refresh the tree of liberty. therefore shut up and watch t.v. play videos,have lots of sex partners and don't say what you feel. your all a bunch of pussies.....so wimpy that the government knows your not gonna do shit! the shit keeps piling up and you all hide in your homes. you get what you deserve!

[mchtb1966]

xfdny, actually americans prefer to handle things in a civilized manner. That is why it is "still" the greatest country in the world. Now that is not to say that americans won't take it to the streets, but unlike some countries, we don't embarrass ourselves by rioting EVERY single time.

Like riots actually work. All that does is just bring out the police in force and isn't the idea to NOT attract the police. Why would you want to attract people you consider enemies? Just curious.

[bebop54]

why not force the breathalizer ?.......

[verliezer69]

i heard it is almost impossible to force someone to breathe into a tube i.e. they can hold their breath or breathe through their nose

[kirador218]

just taze him for 20 min and he will blow the tube, or kick his nuts, burn his house, waterboarding, confiscate his shoes. that´ll teach him to obey the prison guards.

[bebop54]

after i read my post i realized the irony i intended was lost ....

yeah verl , i don't doubt that it's impossible to force someone to breathe ...

but how do they force someone to give blood ?

hold you down ?

my point was who would rather have blood taken in place of a breathlyzer ....

i think this is a scam to collect DNA ...

no other reason .....

[mchtb1966]

Actually, it is not a scam to collect DNA. The only thing that the police is interested in is how much alcohol is in the blood when it's extracted. Besides, a judge has to see enough evidence that the person is intoxicated before he will "give" the verbal warrant to extract blood.

If the judge doesn't give the verbal warrant, no blood is taken. Just don't drink and drive and you won't have to worry.

[bebop54]

i don't mean to appear suspicious ...

however there have been more & more incidences of the law enforcement agencies abusing their power ...

will they begin pulling people over who are NOT intoxicated ?

a breathylizer is one thing ..

a potential aids infected injection into the body is waaaaaaaay over the top ....

i do not drink & i do not drive but i must say if i were told to take an injection by force ?

they would have to KILL me first ....

that's how strongly i feel about it ...

[mchtb1966]

bebop54, in order for police to pull you over, you have to either be swerving or giving an indication that ur intoxicated. Next, police will not be drawing the blood, that job is for a doctor to do.

So if you don't drink and drive, you won't have to worry about blood being drawn because there will be no reason for you to be pulled over.

[CognitiveDisonance]

You have the right to do what you are told!

[PopsMcKracken]

This is unfucking-believable. Just listening to you boot licking lap dogs talking about "keeping families safe on the road". "Ratfather" you are a total asshole and in my opinion not an American at all. Go stick your nose up King Georges ass you worthless traitor. You are the worst kind of weakling that exists in every society that allows fundamental freedoms to vanish in an incremental way. Yaking blood by froce on the side of the road!? Go fuck yourself! No debate. Just go fuck yourself.

[satchmo855]

amen

[RATFather]

Part II:

Sorry, but complaining about this simply doesn't wash. Your 'fundamental freedoms' cannot outweigh other individual rights...

For those that love to use the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to support their arguments... I just referenced the 9th amendment. You have to accept the WHOLE document... not just the piece that you so longingly want in its singularity.

[RATFather]

Part I:

Your 'fundamental freedom'... to drive drunk?

Frankly, If you aren't a drunk driver and you do get pulled over, than you will have their own evidence to shut them down and this whole discussion is moot.

[RATFather]

Part III:

Therefore, if my family is safer (a 'fundamental RIGHT of expectation') on the roads because this action may prevent some idiot from getting on the road drunk because he doesn't like needles... well quite frankly;

- 1: Tough.

- 2: I laugh at him.

It's always amused me how it seems the loudest voices that oppose any form of accountability are usually the ones who are guilty of something and want it kept hidden.

[RATFather]

Final Ppart IV:

Lastly... not anywhere in your entire post / response was there an intelligent thought. Simply ramblings and swear words.

I welcome intelligent point and counterpoint debate from anyone, that's what makes our country great... the ability to express ourselves in an open format freely. Anything less would be... un American... right Pops?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.....

Call me if you ever need bail Pops.

[Watthiman]

Do you have anything between those two things sticking out of the sides of your head? What's even scarier than this report is the fact that there are people like you out there who are more stupid than I ever imagined possible.

[bebop54]

'pops' ...

he doesn't seem to realize that it's not about drunk drivers ....remarkable ....oh well ....

[swale12]

When they force me,there will be more than my blood laying/splattered all over the ER. The first MADD volunteer to touch me, will never touch again. The time to stand up for MY constitution will be at hand and I will fight to the death. Maybe they will arrest because I looked like a democrat DON'T TREAD ON ME. America is dead RIP 12-12-00.

[mchtb1966]

Let me make this perfectly clear so that even a moron can understand. The ONLY ONE drawing blood is a doctor, not a MADD volunteer, not a cop, not a judge, not Richard Nixon, not the Martian High Council, not the CIA, FBI, KGB, the X-Files, Bill Clinton...

Nobody else but a highly trained doctor. But only after a warrant has been issued by a judge.

Only after evidence exists that you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Sheesh, even a moron could figure this out by now.

[xfdny]

your very naive. not a deep thinker for sure. you probably have a degree in criminal justice,have a shaved head with a goatee and lots of tattoos. white mans welfare is law enforcement. you fail to see the big picture. laws are easy to make but very hard if impossible to repeal. i repeat, americans are cowards. scared to lose their television and shaved vaginas. my advice to fellow americans.....try to migrate to the european union....and get citizenship.

[mchtb1966]

xfdny,

You would want to make it "legal" to drink, drive and then kill someone? Thank God I don't live in the European Union.

[xfdny]

your in tunnel vision. you again fail to look at the big picture here. you appear hysterical about kill,kill,drunks,kill. nobody was killed in this story. you live in a police state and you don't even know it. good luck

[mchtb1966]

hate to bust your bubble, but I do not live in a police state. I live in a country where my rights to live without fear of being plowed by a drunk driver is protected. I watched the same video you did, and nowhere did I see where cops were sticking needles in any one's arms. Maybe you can show me a link to a video of "any" cop putting a needle in someone's arm.

Show me that, and I'll concede

[xfdny]

your last response indicates you lost the debate and have begun to stray from the content. just make sure the car is clean at the end of your shift!! i'm sure your mother is proud of you. cops gone wild..woo hoo. too dumb for law school. white mans welfare = police workfare program. it's all you got, think about it. and yes...you will defend it to the end..because...."it's all you got" now go shave your head!

[mchtb1966]

I did? funny, I don't remember losing the debate. I simply asked for proof that a cop actually stuck a needle in a person's arm. You can't find it so there you go, automatically going off topic.

All I'm asking for is this. Show me where a cop stuck a needle in someone's arm. You're the one making the argument talking about this allegedly police state, proof should be SO easy to come by. That is "IF" it ever existed.

Show me.

Just simply show me.

[xfdny]

the video implies that this will be practiced on special occasions and in the future...to sort of desensitize to banality of it. you are the one defending it in the name of drunks,kill,drunks kill,kill,kill. i guess since you suggest that it never has happend...and there is allegely no proof of it having happend yet....that you agree it is an extreme invasion of individual rights and would in fact be wrong to perform such an act on someone unless of course a fatality is involved.

[mchtb1966]

Actually, I will "never" be in favor of a police officer sticking a needle in someone's arm...

Which is why it never happened. An individual was stopped for suspicion of DUI, refused the breath test so a judge issued a warrant for the blood. The individual was taken to the hospital where a "doctor" took his blood via a judges order.

Besides, only 39 warrants were issued, not 12,000 like some of you are acting.

It might be better if you actually knew the law there xfdny

[xfdny]

good. so when they start training cops to extract blood samples from drunks, i expect you to resign in protest. start taking nursing classes as an insurance policy in case you lose your job or you get fired. this way you can give them the finger as you walk out the door, knowing you will be making more money than before.

[mchtb1966]

Sorry but it will never happen. It will never be a part of a police officers training because we aren't doctors and will NEVER be authorized to draw blood. So you can go ahead and live in a fantasy fear, but the only ones you have to worry about are the doctors...

But if you don't drink and drive, you won't even have to worry about that.

[GenerationVictory]

And let me guess, only criminals need guns, right?

You would never, ever hurt anyone that was innocent. If a black man jumped out of his car pissed off and waving his finger at you, you would NEVER beat him down and ask questions later, right?

bull. There are millions of videos of you guys huffing and puffing at ppl just to get your kicks off.

I don't want your help, ever. Even if the Russians and Chinese invade, don't help me. Firefighters, EMTs, cool, but you...I don't need you. EVER.

[mchtb1966]

Actually, we ALL have the right to bear arms. Sorry, but I do believe in the NRA and back them 100%.

Secondly, I have never hurt an innocent person, nor a criminal for that matter. if he jumps out of his vehicle waving a finger and being irate, it will depend on the situation if i do the arrest.

Actually, there are millions of videos of "you" guys who are huffing and puffing at us.

I'm glad that you don't need my help. That way, I won't have to respond. Was that supposed to hurt me?

[GenerationVictory]

Hurt you, no way! You're superman! I don't think ppl need you, your job has become being an asshole to the people. And yeah, 14 yr old + candy bar = death, google it. The attorney general could care less about off duty cops drinking and driving or maybe you actually believe that cops never do, don't be naive. The AG isn't going to run a campaign saying I've taken cops off the streets even though he'd win in my book. And by the way, it's the 2nd admen. to the Constitution, not the NRA.

[mchtb1966]

Here we go, more excuses why you see and don't do anything. Your dad really taught you well, didn't he. As far as I can tell, I'm not the one being the ass here, by the comments that are being typed, that is all you there generationvictory. While you rant and rave, I simply post facts and being polite to boot.

By the way, the NRA supports the constitutional right to bear arms, which is why I support the NRA, so please know what your typing, it won't make you look as dumb.

[GenerationVictory]

I don't make excuses. I'm an active citizen. I organize, promote, and attend public discourse programs, write my congressman, senator, and other law makers, all while holding down a job, a family and more. I don't just complain about having my constitution shredded before my eyes, I do something about it. I bet you think FISA protects Americans, that the military commissions act is good for us, and of course I bet you even support the patriot act. Trade security for freedom, right?

[mchtb1966]

Not another one of "those" people. Sheesh, your whole existence is one conspiracy theory after another. Your constitution is not being shredded before you eyes (a little melodramatic don't you think?)

You write your congressman (applause), congrats. I'm proud of you, and by the way, I do support the Patriot Act. The reason? I have nothing to hide. They can tap my phones and anything else they want, it will make for boring listening. Now you? I wonder if you can say the same?

[GenerationVictory]

No, they should not be able to... Even if I have nothing to hide, you don't have the right to muddle your way through my private life. Information, however innocent, can be twisted to make ANY person look bad. Why do you think we have a "right to be silent"? Free speech and right not to be searched or property seized? Are you that brainwashed? Or are you truly that stupid. READ a book, here try this one: "The Federalist Papers" though it might be above your level. The Constitution is in it.

[Leo82080]

WOW your stupid.

[GenerationVictory]

If you think supporting the NRA is active citizenship then you have another thing coming..they aren't what you think, re-read WHAT they are doing, not what their name is. That's like supporting the Patriot Act because it has the word patriot in it.

And by the way, if you think your being polite then please use a different internal voice when you read.

[mchtb1966]

Now I see you have a problem with the NRA. I guess they want your DNA also? Like they are in the hospitals waiting to take your blood.

The Patriot Act? yes, I'm all for it for I have absolutely nothing to hide.

Now you have a problem with cops being polite? First it is because we are power hungry and think that we're better than every one else...then you get all bent out of shape when a cop talks to you nicely...

Yes, you definitely have issues.

[hstone39]

This is exactly why I don't drink alcohol or beer.

[RATFather]

Ah yes.... another video which on the surface makes our local and federal government seem so Orwellian...

Boo hoo....

...poor little drunk drivers... I truly weep that my children are now even safer from you since it's that much easier for you to be 'caught'.

NOT.

A 'constitutional right' is not a valid argument to undermine other basic rights...

Such as the right to have an expectation for my families safety on our roads.

[ProspectorSam]

The question never asked is: does the gummint have the constitutional AUTHORITY to do this? The news team only wanted to ask the question "is it fair?" which is a subjective, debatable evaluation.

Almost everyone will agree that drunk drivers are misbehaving and deserve some sort of punishment. However, this new policy is an incredibly dangerous precedent to establish, right up there with allowing one human being to unilaterally declare another human being an "enemy combatant".

RP 08 FTW

[TyTrig]

glad this doesnt happen in florida, that would be my last car ride, and the last patrol for at least one cop.

stabbing someone is assault, i dont care if you wear a badge.

[dmjarrington]

i <3 fascism.

[principles101]

Fight!!!!!!!

[matrixfree1]

Get used to it folks. The "authorities" realize that the average American is nothing more than an ignorant consumer that has no interest in constitutional rights or liberties. Just buy a plastic flag and an I Support the Troops bumper sticker and horay for us. Now lets go bomb another country while our own slowly falls apart. The people are going to get what they deserve. They are going to be treated as the mindless children they are. Bring on the nanny state!

[mchtb1966]

So let me get this straight matrixfree1. If we just let everyone drink and drive, then kill as many people as they want without ever having to worry about the consequences...

Then it would be your perfect utopia...

right.

Would THAT make you happy?

It seems to me that the only ones who are complaining are the ones who are worried about getting caught. Let me ask, do YOU drink and drive?

[deluxchixbone]

its simply unconstitutional !

[ret]

It's basically pre-crime. It's actually a very low percentage of people who drink and drive has accidents. These DUI laws were the first set of laws to ignore the constitutional tights of American citizens.

Google "DUI Exception to the Constitution" Alcohol will probably be outlawed with in twenty years.

[gcardona91]

well ret the united states already outlawed alcohol during the 20s under the 18th admendment and they thought it would bring the crime rate down but instead it brought the crime rate up (irony) so they abolished prohibition under the 21st admendment so now they cant prohibit alcohol consumption or the sale of it any more

[angelbe88]

Freedom in this country is an illusion.

[TyTrig]

no, it's an idea as it is on all of earth.

[mchtb1966]

You are absolutely coorect. I should have the "freedom" to leave my house and "NOT" have to worry about me or my family being killed or hurt by a drunk driver.

If that is what you meant angelbe88, then you are correct. But we in the law enforcement community are doing our best to restore that freedom.

By the way, ur welcome for all of our hard work in preserving the lives of your living relatives.

[GenerationVictory]

Bull. I know cops who brag about going out drinking with their buddies and driving home wasted. Don't think because you have that self-righteous badge tacked to your chest that your any different than anyone else. That is what is wrong with all of you ppl you think citizens are beneath you and then you act as if you care about people. Bull. I've seen the true colors of "law" men and you're all power hungry ex-jocks with something to prove. Take your self-righteous bologna to the donut shop.

[mchtb1966]

If you know of cops who do that, then it is your civic duty to turn them in. The next time you see it happen, have a video camera handy and video tape them.

Why do you generalize us? We think that we're above people? That is the farthest thing from the truth. I don't think that I'm better than anyone.

But in reading your post, I can see why you generalize us. It's a double standard, you don't like it when we do it, but you feel that you can.

Imagine that.

[GenerationVictory]

Oh yeah, I'll stroll right in the door at my local police station and turn in those "corrupt" officers. Get right on that. Only, I recall that they beat a 14 yr old to death in that police station, his crime, being rowdy after being jailed for stealing a candy bar, yeah maybe I won't after all.

I'm not generalizing. I don't need you. You are all corrupt or would you have me believe that there isn't a "code among brothers" with your troopers? You could be the 1 good of 7, but don't patronize me.

[mchtb1966]

Umm, it is called going into the Attorney General's office, not the local police station, so get it right.

Beat a 14 year old to death for stealing a candy bar? That I highly doubt so quit making stuff up.

Yes, you are generalizing and I'm glad you don't need me. But how can you say that we are all corrupt, then say that I could be the 1 good out of 7...

Come on now, at least be consistent will you.

[GenerationVictory]

I said 1 out of 7 because my father was a good cop. He told me about the rampant corruption in departments all over the country. You might fool other ppl with this kind of rhetoric but I'm not fooled. I said "all corrupt" because I know that 1 of 7 don't take on the other 6, it's something my dad regretted not doing more of the time. And b/c of that, he taught me that inaction is as bad as doing it yourself. If you've never seen this corruption then stop parking a desk, it won't take long.

[mchtb1966]

Your dad taught you that inaction is as bad as doing it yourself? hmm, you sure are preaching a lot of inaction aren't you? you see cops drinking and driving, then do your civic duty and report it...or, as your father taught you, you're part of the problem :)

By the way, unlike you, I am on the road as a police officer so I see all types. I don't sit back and let it be told to me by someone else, you see, I am part of the solution, not the problem as you are.

[mediamonarchy]

thanks for getting this video out of yahoo, i was driving myself crazy trying to extract it... keep it up!

[ghuillieman]

Time to stand and fight.We knew this day would come.Better to fight and die than to live as a slave.

[mchtb1966]

Or to live as slaves to a bunch of alcoholics who could care less about whose lives that they destroy.

I believe that is what you truly meant.

[TruthFan]

Do you know what came of the weekend? How many people were forced to submit to this?

[Politicophobia1776]

76 were charged with dui. Of those 76, 39 were served with a warrant and forced to have their blood drawn and tested.

[mchtb1966]

39 were served with a warrant because they exercised their right to "refuse". However, the judge found suficient evidence existed for a warrant to be issued to take the blood.

Get ready people, we are getting sick and tired of alcoholics getting behind the wheel and killing or seriously injuring our loved ones.

You don't want to get DUI's, stop drinking and driving. It's that simple. Or continue, but don't expect any sympathy from law enforcement or the courts.

[TruthFan]

FIRE SUSAN REED! Outrageous, I am so upset right now I am just stunned. Thank you for posting this. This will spread around the country and become an ordinary procedure when pulled over by cops.

[99thDimension]

Vote while you can, they will be taking that "right" away next.
