Tarrant County Police Set for 'No Refusal' Weekend

[TexasDevilDog]

Police across Tarrant County will be looking for impaired drivers this Fourth of July weekend, combating drunken driving through a three-day "no refusal" operation.

The county-wide enforcement will run from 9:30 p.m. Friday through 5:30 a.m. Monday.

Officers will use search warrants to take blood from drivers suspected of drunken driving who refuse to take a breath test.

It's the same for every holiday now it seems, nothing new. I bet the 3-day weekend brings out a few more les than sober drivers than usual.

"ALWAYS set up a designated driver before hand. When me and the girl go out we always decide which one of us will be the DD so she can drink."

I still think this "no refusal" business is nonsense. FTP!!!

Agreed...JBTs just doing their jobs.

It is unconstitutional as hell.

[Tannerm]

Geez... Once arrested, the officer applies for a warrant. No different than any. Other. Night. What makes it different is certain jails in Tarrant will have a judge and nurse on hand at those jails.

[Forever_frost]

What makes it different is you aren't given an option to refuse. Fine, they refuse, take them to jail but this bullshit is why the 4th amendment was written. Pencil whipping warrants to cover an arrest isn't constitutional.

Here's an idea: don't drive after drinking and you have nothing to worry about.

X2! I don't give a fuck WHO you are... If you get popped and you're over the limit then you should pay the price. Is it unconstitutional to kill someone while your intoxicated?
