As far as urinating is concerned, they might have Prost(r)ate trouble.

Well blood is blood, no?Originally Posted by Mr JP Fugley
I see what you mean, a droplet of blood should be as representative of the whole bloodstream as a syringe-full. I don't know the specifics but it certainly seems to stand diabetics in good stead. However, I think it's the taking of the blood that JP was referring to. The legal issues of a policeman taking a tiy specimin of blood and then using rudimentary apparatus to discern the alcohol level is bound to be fraught with difficulties. The practicalities would also cause concern. For example when a needle is used, the blood doesn't come into contact with air plus there is less chance of it being tampered with.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
Also, there would be ethical points to consider. One can do what they like to their own body. For example you could pick your nose right now, if you wanted - but if someone else tried to insert a digit into your nasal passage, you'd be less than pleased.
Taking blood is an invasive procedure and as such should be carried out by a trained professional, imo.
Drunk driving is an invasive procedure when the car hits you.
The purpose of the blood test is to discern whether the driver was actually drunk or not.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
Innocent until proven guilty, and all that. You can't just go poking needles in people willy nilly, things must be done properly.
I guess you haven't seen just how drunk some people are on the roads.Originally Posted by manker
Now why would you say something like that.Originally Posted by Virtualbody1234
I'm saying that every possible precaution should be taken to ensure a man does not get wrongly accused of a crime and you're saying to cut corners.
My point about the blood or urine test was that they have already given a positive test. If they are going to challenge the accuracy of the breath test device then they should (my opinion) opt for a different test to prove their innocence at the time of the offence and not at a later date once the "evidence" has left the body. The option is there.
