Police departments across the state have begun instituting “no-refusal weekends” — a program that allows law enforcement to collect a blood sample from people pulled over for suspected DWI regardless of whether the individual refuses testing.

During a no-refusal weekend, if you are suspected of DWI and you refuse to provide a breath sample, you will be forcibly made to provide a blood sample by means of a streamlined process set up to ensure accuracy and admissibility of the evidence in court. Without the program, an arresting officer must take a DWI suspect to a separate locale and await approval of a warrant to obtain a blood sample. During a no-refusal weekend, this process is condensed.

You refuse, you're taken into custody, blood drawn and then you'll likely end up with a dwi.

So it's still getting a warrant, they just have a judge on standby to sign it. Am I understanding that correctly?

Yes, they have a judge on standby to sign off on a warrant to draw blood.

Yes, A warrant still needs to be signed before blood is removed.

BTW, this is the 3rd DWI, that has driven into the APD lot in the last month. I was leaving work last Saturday and a Toyota Rav4 comes flying by me leaving the lot. Drives all the way to the sally ports (which is a dead end) and was stopped by an officer about to leave the lot.

Well that is good to know. Thanks for explaining it yall

Rape, but it is ok for them to do it because they write themselves a piece of paper that says that it is ok.

You ok Frost. I figured you'd not be happy with this process and expound on your displeasure...
So you're OK with them getting a warrant signed by a judge for your blood ?

I took my CHL from the Dalworthington police chief that started the whole no refusal deal. After taking that class I completely understand why everyone always said to avoid the place. He was a really good instructor, but I sure as hell would not want to get caught breaking the law in his town.

Constitution requires a warrant for actions to invade my privacy. If they obtain the warrant, I'm not happy but it's legal according to the document.
