The Supreme Court question whether the intrusive procedure of sticking a needle in someone's arm to draw blood should routinely be done without the approval of a judge. Lawyers for Missouri where the case initiated and for the Obama administration argued that requiring a warrant would delay testing a suspect's blood-alcohol content thereby allowing the level to decrease. Do you think a warrant to test the blood should be required?

In 2010, 10,000 deaths from crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers occurred which was a drop of 60% in the past 20 years because of a sustained national crackdown on drunken driving. Do you feel that the crackdown and the blood testing without a warrant has contributed to the decrease?

No, I think it is because drivers are refraining from driving drunk because they know what could happen because of a national advertisement campaign educating the public about the dangers and consequences.
