Me thinks Randy is either a cop, a cop wannabe or just a “law and order”
wing nut.

If you’re not worried about this 1984 scenario then you’re not paying attention. Just buy all the ammo you can afford.

I forgot to say that they would not have my DNA Mark. Only the ones that are arrested do they take blood from.

You are right Mark. That could put dozens of rapists and killers away. Great idea!

Welcome to Amerika! Here is another thought. What happens to the blood sample? Suppose Jhonny Law wants to run DNA tests on it? The Govt. would LOVE a data base with everyons DNA. Think what that could do for law enforcement!

It is ok to kill you James because you are a drunk driver threatening others. Maybe they should use their gun on you instead of a needle.

The suing part was sarcasm but the gun part wasn’t.

So its ok for cops to risk my death as long as I can sue them. Thank you for ruining your argument.

Ok idiot James. You and others here read the facts and throw out the ones that does not make it sound good to you. Yes they do not get full training. They firgure if a bably is going to get drunk they can get them for driving under age. They do not bother with all of the other extreme methods of getting blood either because they take them to the hospital but of course you read that and purposfully leave that out. You are what I call an idiot.

If they kill you getting your blood make sure you leave instructions to your relatives to sue them. That is all for me on this. Read the facts and quit making things up.

They aren’t “fully trained” though…. they are certified after 75 sticks. Nurses need 100 successful sticks in a row, and learn how to use butterfly catheters and other devices for veins that roll, collapse, or rupture.

And they are “typically” brought into a specially fitted van / the precinct. But “typically” means “not always”…

James
1) You are referring to what the article says. The article was not written by any police or lawyers or judges. The article was written to create a headline just like other articles referred to on this site. It was not written for factual content.

2) The court ruling said that getting the blood must be done in a medically approved manner. The police are smart enough to know that does not mean to go into someones car and start stabbing them with a needle. You ask why they would spend the money to do it in a professional manner? The reason is so that it would hold up in court for one and to avoid law suits and to get drunks off the road which costs us Billions of dollars each year.

3) You pointed out that the article said “regular, run of the mill cops were being trained to do this.” and that may be true. It does not say though that every cop would not be doing it and only a select few fully trained policemen would do it. The article like all that are on this site leaves out important information. Go do a search on the internet and find out what is really hapening.

1) The article doesn’t say arrested, it says suspected.
2) The law makes no requirement for such a safety van, and if it’s not in the law, and it’s going to cost them $$$, why would they do it?
3) Specialists? Did you read the article? It said regular, run of the mill cops were being trained to do this.
