And what happens when they are not guilty?

You should not be forced to give a breathalyzer test OR blood if you are not drunk. Simply because a dick with a gun may think you are, that is not reason enough to forcibly strap you to a table, put you in a headlock, and take your blood.

They even strap them down and head lock them when there is zero resistance. I hate drunk drivers as much as everyone else does, but this is not the solution. If they can get HIV results through a mouth swab, I'm sure they can get an alcohol reading from saliva, stool, urine, hair, or something. But forcing them down and drawing blood is stone cold evil and a very slippery slope.
