Chicago DUI lawyer says ouch! Catheterization coming soon for DUI arrests

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here and here on forced blood draws of DUI suspects. Heck, just yesterday I even posted here about arresting the nurse for not taking the blood of a DUI suspect. Now comes news that the police are willing to go to any lengths (no pun intended) to get evidence from your body to use against you.


An Indiana man has filed a lawsuit claiming that police forcibly withdrew urine from his body during a drunken driving arrest.

According to the suit, police Jamie Lockard, 53, on suspicion of drunk driving in March.

A Breathalyzer test showed he was under the legal limit, but Officer Brian Miller doubted the findings.

Lockard and his attorney claimed in the suit that police took him to Dearborn County Hospital and forced him to submit to a urine test.

Police said they obtained a warrant, but Lockard's attorney said his client was shackled to a gurney and had a catheter inserted against his will.

So now, even when you pass the Breathalyzer test if the police don't like that result they will just strap you down to a gurney and use a catheter? And if the medical personnel don't cooperate with these actions they will arrest the medical personnel as well. Looks like another nail in the coffin of the U.S. Constitution.
