More disturbing signs of Amerika the Police State

[DavieD55]

The bashing just hasn't started yet, but like all of these threads, that is exactly where it's going. Most on here watch too many movies and think they have a clue with what cops do. How about going to a DUI crash where some piece of crap crashed into three cars completely destroying them, injuring several and killing one. That person has had numerous DUI's and no jail time. Doesn't have a license. And now we will be required to get a warrant for the blood draw which won't be less than two hours which the state requires for a test to be completed. How about the numerous times that DUI's kick or punch me or nearly run over a police officer or fire fighter. You guys see one video and think that's how it goes. Sometimes people get strapped down who are non compliant. It's called custody. Don't drink and drive and it won't happen to you.

At the end of the day, when you or a family member is seriously injured by a DUI driver and you lose in court you will wonder what that DUI driver got away with it.

I do know of a couple family friends who were killed by a carload of drunk illegals on hwy 85 out in Adams County. They skipped back to mexico and were never held responsible for their actions. Now we can go around accusing/harassing citizens with forced blood draws but we can't seen to secure our borders.

I think that some restraint has been shown in this thread from the very first post.

Nothing good happens after midnight.....

How about you just don't drive fucking drunk. Driving is not a right. You signed for implied consent when you accepted your license. Don't like it. Get a bike.

I'd rather a drunk fuck be strapped to a god damn gurney and blood drawn than lose another person in my life to a drunk driver.

I honestly don't give a fuck if you guys think this is invasive. If it pulls one drunk off the roads so be it.

DUI laws are a joke as it is. I'm sure this is more of a deterrent than our current joke of misdemeanor class of DUI laws.

DUI or Dwi should carry a minimum of loss of driving for years. Can't wait for the first high driving fatality.

And if the magazine bans and universal background checks save just one life, are you cool with them too?

Excluding your first sentence, every instance of DUI can be replace with Gun Control in your post and make just as valid an argument.

This has nothing to do with gun control, and a blatant illegal activity. Try to change the words around however you like.

It has to do with people breaking the law. If you choose willingly to break the law and think you can get away with it, well they're playing the legal game too.

I didn't watch the entire video but I certainly didn't see anyone being forcibly restrained. I'm sure regardless of compliance or not, they're strapped down for their safety and that of those around them. He'll I've ripped out an iv by coming out of anesthesia and moving too quickly.

Replace gun control with whatever you want to J. Yes, I would give up guns if they could bring my cousin back. They can't though. This isn't about guns either.

Soon enough everything will be illegal.

Look, I am anti-drunk driving. But I am unconditionally against restricting rights of law abiding citizens to catch a few more criminals. Hell, I am against it for catching a whole bunch more criminals.

Breaking the law is one thing, but this country stands for rights, and process (or at least it used to). We have always understood that the rights and principals we hold dear are more important that the needs of the one or the few.

I want people who are drunk driving caught, but not at the loss of our rights and process. I feel for your loss, and I can read between the lines what happened there. But I cannot succumb to that reasoning in good faith. I am by no means saying we should be soft on drunk drivers. I am just saying that losing our entire system and right to process is a far bigger loss than missing a conviction on such a crime.

I wonder how many people voted out our rights, here in Colorado and across the country recently exactly because of what you write here. Sure, YOU may want to give up guns for this reason. But is that really a reason that we should throw out the 2nd amendment, generations of tradition and something that this country was explicitly founded upon? For every person, man woman and child for the rest of eternity? I find it astonishing that you cannot link your reasoning to give up rights and process here similar at worst to the thoughts presented by the anti-gun agenda in the recent elections. Or perhaps you can, as you have slightly hinted to, and just don't care.

Two quotes that I think are perfectly fitting here:

1. "I would rather be a victim than a subject" --J
2. "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
