A word of caution before you head out for the long Memorial Day weekend: It's also No-Refusal Weekend. Which means? Well, if Dallas police pull suspect you're drinking and driving, you'll be stuck with a butterfly needle attached to a vacuum-packed container, and two vials' worth of your blood will taken and tested. And, no, you can't refuse the test; hence the name...[More]What they are telling you is it is NOT your body your choice. They can and will penetrate you and transfer bodily fluids. Make no mistake--just because it's a needle in your arm vs. something else in your something else doesn't make it any less an act of rape, which we're told is about dominance, power and control, not about sex.
They are telling you they can mount you and take you any time they want.
Y'know what, Chief Kunkle? Keep it up.
At some point, someone will figure out they can refuse the test, and that vampires can be destroyed.
Squeeze.
It always amazes me that blood and breathalyzer tests pass muster with the courts. They are both obvious violations of the Fifth Amendment's protection against being forced to testify against yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Patti Neill essay link. She rocks.
You mean to tell me...
ReplyDeleteThat police can violate your body, take your blood (why not cut off a finger?) without your consent?
Federal, state and city/county goons, you better think long and hard about this one.
squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the trigger.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a reason to just hit the gas. If you rive around long enough the BAL could drop below the legal limits and you just get reckless op and whatever else they throw at you...enough people running and they are SOL.
ReplyDeleteSame deal in Houston area, expanding to local lakes as well, so no more beer with your boat. This is Texas folks, you might beat the rap but you won't beat the ride, and an expensive ride it will be.
ReplyDeleteAll of course 'for your safety'...yessir...
Don't you get it, Tom... it doesn't matter in the least if you've had anything to drink or not. They will do this to whomever they please.
ReplyDeleteIs is any less rape if the lady is a bar fly?
And there is no sane reason for cops to attempt to draw blood on the side of the road. That's insane. It is not a terribly difficult procedure if one is well trained and practiced, but seems to me these folks have a totally different role and can hardly be expected to perform this task without inflicting injury and pain on people, quite aside from the moral implications.
It's an insane idea however you look at it.
One more good reason to get the heck out of any place that would make this sort of rape not only possible, but probable - and without recourse!
So if a police officer attempts to draw blood isn't that a medial procedure?
ReplyDeleteIs that officer a licensed nurse, paramedic or doctor?
Don't Texas have some kind of law that says your not suppose to preform medial procedures with out a license?
Sounds like a possible malpractice case.
No ML, I got that. My point was tax the system to the breaking point. Tax the police. Tax the courts. Yes, one here and there isn't enough, but they'll do it again...probably on July 4th to grind in the irony, so get organized and make plans now.
ReplyDeleteThey're waging the war on freedom on every front we had better be prepared to do the same.
@ anon 5:56 (nice!) I think I saw something related to one of these schemes that they do get training and certification in vampirism so I don't know if that'd fly.
yeah, they're not getting my blood. I know it's not rational, but I'd rather die.
ReplyDeleteI'd try really hard to give them a sample of stomach contents too.
ReplyDeleteBlood has our DNA in it. It'll go on your permanent record.
Could there be a more unreasonable search and seizure?
Texas is off my list of places to visit or move, unless...
Hey, Suzanna Gratia Hupp still in the legislature there?
Just when I thought Texaswould be a good place to live because they support the Constitution, they go and pull crap like this.
ReplyDeleteDamn!
They may take my blood, but it will be a mutual exercise in bloodletting.
ReplyDeleteThe large cities in Texas have ever growing majority of socialists like any place else. Our population is changing fast and the majority want to make Texas just like Mexico (home). I'm not being racist but sometimes the truth hurts.
ReplyDeleteStraightarrow, you never disappoint me.
ReplyDeleteNo refusal blood tests rank right up there with "click it or ticket" seatbelt violations.
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna do what we say, for your own good, or we're gonna whup your ass and make you do it.
If you're gonna drive on the highways your taxes financed you're gonna drive by our rules or we're gonna make you wish you had. After all, it's for the children.
The police will have a "fill-in-the-blanks" search warrant to take your blood and it will all be a "due process" deal. As long as the state uses due process its agents can do pretty well anything they want to. The 14th amendment says so.
Of course, the SCOTUS hasn't decided yet if the 14th Amendment says the state of Texas cannot infringe upon your right to keep and bear arms.
