Both the tv reporter and judge sound drunk after messing up their words.

@fog0death You do realize that your blood is replenished over time. Our erythrocytes only live three to four months... You do not have 'old' blood nor do you need to stimulate your body into producing 'new' blood. It takes a healthy adult male twenty to sixty days to reproduce the lost RBC taken during a normal 'donation'. It's ridiculous that they want to draw blood for an DWI without consent.... It also causes scar tissue where the needle tears a hole in the skin and the vessel. Enjoy..

Burnet County is full of sheeple who think the end justifies the means.

@bsimons100 By the way, did you know that it's good for the human body for some blood to be removed once in a while? Maybe I'll go donate some of my blood later, I've been stuck with the same old blood for too long I think, I need to simulate my body to renew it's blood supply.

@bsimons100 the suspect refuses then the other option for them is to get stuck with a needle in order to see if their blood contains alcohol. Either way will work, but usually sane people will go for the breathalyzer, unless they are guilty in which case they will refuse and instead get sent to a hospital for a blood sample.

@bsimons100 "A cop can arrest you just for looking drunk." That's against my basic human rights which are located in section 1, 7, 8, 9, and 12 of the Canadian Charter of Rights.
I'm sorry but your country is messed up if they can do such things to you. Maybe you should talk to the UN to fix your country up? I think your authorities are abusing you guys.
Here in Canada a cop needs proof that a person is drunk before puting him in jail, and we get that proof by either breathalyzer, or if

@fog0death Giving blood has nothing to do with being arrested. A Cop can arrest you just for looking drunk. Therefore if "People could DIE if those drunk bastards go back to the streets and drive their cars around, crashing into people.", then it is the cop that is acting drunk and according to you, should be held down and stuck with needles . A good cop would never give the keys back to a drunk even if he/she refused to give blood. Does that happen alot in CANADA?

@bsimons100 The hospital won't stick needles in people who might or might not have alcohol in their blood, simply because they are pussies who value human rights over HUMAN LIVES. People could DIE if those drunk bastards go back to the streets and drive their cars around, crashing into people.
My solution is not invalid, it is completely valid seeing that the suspect REFUSES a breathalyzer test. If he doesn't want a needle in his body, then simply take the breathalyzer test.

@fog0death It is because the Govt. has to act like it cares about its citizens. The key word is ACT!
ITS NOT LEGAL, ITS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
