A new law in Ohio will give the police more power over drivers who are suspected to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The new bill, which will be signed by the governor this week, gives the police the authority to force a driver to give a blood or urine test.
Although this law applies only for people who have been convicted, it raises worries for people who drive in Ohio. So far, blood or urine tests could be forced only with a warrant. This may seem like a blatant violation of the right to privacy, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (aren't there shorter names?) is already planning to challenge the law when it goes into effect.
Until then, do yourself a favor. Don't drink and drive. Ever.
