Clay County Out For Blood Against Drunk Drivers

First off . . . It's dumb to drive drunk. With so many tech ride-share options available, there's really no excuse to risk it.

This story is mostly flexing, hyperbole and tough talk that HOPEFULLY inspires drinkers to stay off the road this holiday season and prevent tragedy. 

Ordinarily . . . We don't agree with public officials mentioning ideas about commandeering blood in any context. BUT, if this kind of bold statement scares a few drunks off the road . . . It's probably a good thing. 

Check-it:

"Clay County prosecutor Zach Thompson has labeled Clay County as a "no-refusal" county for DWIs, meaning his staff in his office will ask for more search warrants for blood draws when drivers are suspected of intoxication.

"If someone refuses a breathalyzer test to show levels of blood alcohol, prosecutors can step in and make a case to a judge for a blood draw."
