For all practical purposes, an accused child molester or murderer has more constitutional rights than a defendant in a drunk driving case.

Of course, the accused child molester or murderer has a lot more to lose.

If you get the hankering, read "Next" by the late Michael Crichton. In it, is creates a story about Genetic Manipulation, using laws currently on the books - where people are pulled over, and stem cells are harvested from them (against their will) because some company owned a 'patent' on their DNA.

As usual, Mr. Crichton has the last dozen pages of his story referencing laws and cases currently on the books to support his assertions.

If the police can forcibly take my blood - what's next? My heart? Liver? Brain? Bones? Under what pretext? In this case - my blood is being forcibly taken, to testify against me in a court of law.

This is wrong, on so many levels it's scary.
