I recently learned the #SCOTUS just ruled that 'warrantless DUI blood draws have now been declared unconstitutional. What I even learned further from this, is that this is being made retroactive for possibly all DUI cases that have not been tried in a court of law yet. Makes you wonder what additional trouble Lobo and the BTPD have over all those open case blood draws from last year, especially the ones in which the members of the Bensalem EMS Squad did disguised as lab techs!
TOO BAD LOBO!!!

While I abhor drunk driving, and believe it to be one of the worst crimes in the US next to child abuse (especially sexual!) and murder, I abhor laziness, and shoddy investigative work for the sake of making an extra $$$. I feel very strongly that DUI blood draws when done by COMPETENT and AUTHORIZED personnel (i.e. lab techs!!) in a Hospital, are important in pursuing justice in regards to someone driving under the influence, so this is going to be a major pain in the you know where for legitimate cases, but what about all those cases in which these EMS personnel posing as lab techs drew blood on individuals suspected of this??
Considering the FACT, that the evidence from all of these DUI cases was illegally obtained, how many of these criminal cases need to be reviewed and the charges dropped? Worse yet, what about those convicted with the illegal evidence? Will their guilty verdicts be overturned? I wonder if any defense attorneys here in Bucks county, especially any in Bensalem, are aware of this act? Does the rescue squad have to return the fees they collected for the illegal blood draws? I would hope so!!
Maybe now that this ruling has come out, someone will look into all those DUI blood draws from last year, and have something done about it.
