Last week, Delaware County was running their “No Refusal Weekend” when drivers suspected of being impaired by alchohol would have their blood forcibly drawn from their bodies if they exercised their statutory right to refuse a breath test back at the station.
It is interesting that they did not choose the weekend of the Memorial Tournament, when there would be a great deal more drivers in the area who would be a great deal more likely to have consumed alcohol. But appararently, the county did not relish the possibility of pulling over well-to-do fans of professional golf who would have the resources to fight such police state tactics, and instead concentrated their fire on the average citizen who would have to just knuckle under and learn to like it.
So much for safety concerns. The weekend which would feature a bunch of inebriated doctors, stockbrokers, and real estate developers gets a pass. But the weekend where the average joes are out driving gets picked.
