Super Bowl Sunday will be one for the record books — if you drink and drive. Illinois police will be on the lookout for drunk drivers, and they mean business.
According to Illinois law, a driver has no right to refuse a BAC test after an arrest for DUI. The process for this is quite constitutional, if not harsh.
After an arrest, police will contact an assistant state’s attorney to obtain a search warrant, which authorizes them to draw blood from any suspected DUI driver who refuses to submit to a breath test.
Illinois’ “no refusal” weekends have been tested on two other occasions in the last year — Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve weekend. These crack downs led to eight DUI arrests.
Please be safe this weekend! For more information on Illinois DUI laws, please see 1800duilaws.com. If you’ve been arrested for DUI in Illinois, contact an attorney in your area immediately.
