A few days ago a local television station interviewed me about a new program that the Lubbock Police Department and the Lubbock District Attorney’s office are testing. Basically the idea is that on certain weekends if a person is arrested for a dwi and refuses to give a breath test then the police and the DA’s office will attempt to get a judge to sign a warrant to have that person’s blood drawn for testing. Here is the story.

A few days later an attorney friend of mine was also interviewed. His position is that the reason for these blood warrants is that the prosecutors have little faith in the so called field sobriety tests or stupid human tricks as I call them.
