A woman is suing a host of parties after it emerged that cops in Austin, Texas, forcably took her blood for a DUI test, in a scene that sounds more like something that would occur at a Guantanamo Bay prison camp. Caroline Callaway was arrested by a police officer after she refused to take a breath test during a routine traffic stop. Ms Callaway was taken directly to the Travis County jail where the shocking events unfolded. Callaway’s attorney told reporters with Courthouse News that despite only “passive and verbal resistance” she was taken “to a small padded room, where she was surrounded by officers and strapped into ‘the chair,’ with her legs, wrists and shoulders restrained.” Callaway, who had informed the police that she suffers from anxiety disorder and uses medications for the ailment, then “began to involuntarily tremble from anxiety and fear.” This prompted the cops to put a bag, known as a “Tranzport Hood,” over her head to deprive the senses, in some backwards notion that this would have a calming effect. All the hood did was cause Callaway to panic further as she could not see what was happening and had further difficulty breathing. A contracted nurse was on hand to perform the blood draw, but according to the complaint, “the needle popped out because of Ms. Callaway’s shaking and blood spewed onto one of the officers.” “(D)efendants continued the abuse determined to take Ms. Callaway’s blood. In order to stop Ms. Callaway from trembling, one of the officers used choke hold pressure points on her neck, until her body went limp.” the complaint further notes.

Author: Steve Watson - Prisonplanet.com. She also was in possession of marijuana, ran two red lights. More states are authorizing forcible blood draws for motorists suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, regardless of the circumstances of the arrest. Forcible blood draws occur when police hold down a DUI suspect who is unruly or struggling and medical personnel withdraw a blood sample. Texas state statutes specifically allow the procedure.
Gatlin, I've personally seen you post threads that came directly from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), so you have absolutely zero room to be talking about 'questionable sources'.
Did you ever show where anything I posted was incomplete (contained only partial facts) or untrue? The answer to that is, no ... because I never did. I repeat: She also was in possession of marijuana, ran two red lights. More states are authorizing forcible blood draws for motorists suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, regardless of the circumstances of the arrest. Forcible blood draws occur when police hold down a DUI suspect who is unruly or struggling and medical personnel withdraw a blood sample. Texas state statutes specifically allow the procedure. Steve Watson intentionally left out some pertinent facts in order to further his agenda. That, Georgia Cracker, is yellow journalism.
And Gatlin cheers the further implementation of the police state. Why not - he believes the government owns your mind and your body. Oh BTW Gatslime - your constant shilling for the SPLC is reprehensible. Just wanted to add that.

The woman ran two red lights. She was a repeat offender with a prior DUI conviction. She could have easily caused a tragic duplication of this: I will present truth from whatever source truth can be found. Your constant failed attempt to defend the indefensible is reprehensible. Just wanted to add that.
Forcible blood draws are legal, passed by the Texas legislature (consisting of representatives of Texas citizens) and signed by the Texas governor. If this is the way Texas citizens want to run their state, it's their business, not yours. If the citizens object, they can write their representative. If a majority do so, the law will be overturned. Unless, of course, you believe the rest of us should tell Texas what to do? Not a big fan of federalism, are you? (I bet you are on other issues, aren't you?)

She was convicted of an earlier charge in 2012.
Officers can take blood from citizens with a warrant signed by a judge.

Oh BTW Gatslime - your constant shilling for the SPLC is reprehensible. Just wanted to add that. Flowers and candles were placed Thursday night at the intersection in Redondo Beach where an alleged DUI driver plowed into families who had just attended a school Christmas program, killing three women and leaving nine others injured, including five children. Margo Bronstein of Redondo Beach was arrested on suspicion of felony vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, police said Thursday. Source.
He taught that his kingdom is a kingdom of truth, inhering or contained in love, an essential element which dominates the love. The truth which controls the love is holiness, justice, truth or honesty, impartiality and altruism. Every one that is of the truth, wherever there is a human spirit anxious to, attain to the possession of truth and righteousness, let his eye be directed to me.
Yellow journalism is abominable. Defend her if you wish … I will not!
