New Texas Blood Draw Law Starts Sept 1st 2009 [aOvWIJehWxo]

Texas law enforcement will no longer require search warrants to perform blood draws in specific crash scenarios starting September 1. The mandate applies if a crash involves an injury, a child passenger, or a driver with prior DWI convictions. Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley advocated for the change following a case involving Gary Gibbs, a repeat offender who refused testing after his eighth DWI arrest.

Roadside Blood Draws, Fifth Amendment Rights, Activist Victories

They list past activist victories, such as stopping the "New Freedom Initiative" for forced drugging of children and removing illegal checkpoints in Austin. The segment encourages viewers to support TAG and Freeman to restore a moral compass to Texas government.
