This is very iportant, practical and useful legislation in the fight against alcohol and drug-related crimes. We've suffered so many DUI-related deaths in recent times. Currently, if suspects are charged under Negligent Vehicular Assault or Homicide, our evidence is limited to what the officers can get through implied consent. With fatalities and serious injury crashes, we need to have the additional search warrant tool available to put together prosecutable cases in the event the suspect refuses under implied consent.
