Click here for the news story.
I wrote to my Elected Heroes in the Texas Congress & Senate, as well as to Governor Perry. I encourage you to do the same. And say what? Well I'm glad you asked.
1) Taking blood without a warrant is THEFT and a good example of an "unreasonable search and seizure"
2) Current intent is to assist conviction of repeat DUI offenders. We used to have a law that you couldn't be stopped for not wearing a seat belt, and now it is a primary offense. Next up is taking DNA from ALL DUI suspects, then from all people involved in collisions in Texas. Where does the intrusion stop? (hint: it doesn't)
3) What happens to the blood? Is it destroyed? Who verifies it is destroyed? Does a sample of it get put into the DNA database first? If so, what happens when your suspect ended up being diabetic and not convicted of DUI - does their DNA get pulled from the database (haha)?
This is a Bad Law people. Let's not pass it.
