And now the usurpers of our civil rights have moved to Franklin County with their “No Refusal Weekend” which I have referred to as the “No Fourth Amendment Weekend”. The scheme involves the police immediately sending a warrant to a judge at home in Franklin County (regardless of the time at night) describing the facts of an OVI/DUI stop and getting that judge’s signature for a blood draw from the suspect should the suspect cling to his Fourth Amendment rights so much that he refuses to take a breath test.

Of course, Ohio law permits a driver to refuse such a test, and he forfeits his license for one year, but that’s not enough for prosecutors and we must all bow down to the prosecutors.

The long and short of it is that in Franklin County this weekend, your constitutional rights are on holiday. Ironic that it happens on the Fourth of July?
