Injured by a drunk driver?

According to the Sun Sentinel, “twenty-six people were arrested Friday night on DUI charges. At least four refused to submit to a blood test, the latest tool officials planned to employ against drunken driving.

The Sheriff’s Office, working closely with the State Attorney’s Office, sparked controversy when it decided to seek a judge-approved search warrant to take blood from anyone who appeared drunk and refused a breath test.

Four command posts were set up with breath tests, while Palm Beach County Fire Rescue paramedics set up a mobile blood unit at Fire Rescue headquarters west of West Palm Beach.

Still, when it came down to it, the State Attorney’s Office decided not to forcibly take blood and no blood samples were drawn Friday night. The State Attorney’s Office would not comment on its decision but planned to continue to seek search warrants for those who refused breath tests Saturday night.”
