A Warrant for Your Blood

Last week, the St. Clair County in Illinois went a bit far in their war against drunk drivers. From November 25 to November 29, judges could issue warrants for your blood or breath test.

The idea is good: if someone refuses to take a breath test, a judge can force you to do so. The state's attorney can obtain such a warrant and force a suspect to give blood.

As nice as this sounds, to me it goes a little too much into people's privacy. I know it's about protecting the public, but the public should also be safe from needle warrants and intrusive tests without permission.

What do you think? I'll be glad to read your comments.

Happy December!
