FORCED BLOOD FROM IMPAIRED DRIVERS

摘要

National Highway Transportation Safety Administration statistics show that in 2011 (latest data available), drivers impaired by alcohol and/or drugs killed one American every 53 minutes. Every single year, impaired drivers kill more Americans than the total of U.S. personnel killed in the last 10 years of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Supreme Court's response to this pervasive threat to public safety is to make it more difficult for law enforcement officers to obtain the most probative evidence of impaired driving-a measure of the alcohol concentration in a sample of the suspect's blood.
