DUI Suspects Forced to Give Blood

The Winnebago County, Illinois State's Attorney's office is currently working with Stateline hospitals to draw blood in fatal DUI cases. Attorney Joe Bruscatto is clarifying a law already in the books the way it is right now local hospitals are declining the police department's request to draw blood on a DUI suspect who refuses to give it in fear of being sued. However, now hospitals no longer have a choice in taking the samples considering police can now use a search warrant law to enforce the blood draw.
