Wise County Attorney James Stainton bragged that only six drivers were arrested for DWI during July 4th long weekend at what he termed as the "no refusal campaign". "No refusal" means that when you are pulled over at the police traffic checkpoint, and they determine probable cause, you cannot refuse a blood draw to be tested for drugs or alcohol. Yep, that's right, right in here in good ole Texas. Stainton crowed that he was “very happy,” with the results of the unconstitutional traffic stop because police only netted six offenders. Stainton opined, “It means people are getting the message. One of these days I hope to have a big, fat zero.” What message is that, Mr. Stainton? That the local government is becoming just as oppressive as the federal government? You should be ashamed, pal, and I guarantee the free people of Wise County will remember your antics.
If you can believe it, this is the fifth year Stainton has pushed his nazi-tactic program over the July 4 holiday. Why do citizens put up with it?
