St. Louis County's New DUI Policy
St. Louis County has introduced a new DUI policy, which requires suspected drunk drivers to undergo blood draws if they refuse to cooperate with a Breathalyzer.
Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Price Smith announced the change, stating that the county would be a "no refusal" zone. This means that any driver who declines to take a Breathalyzer test will have to submit to a blood draw.
the county would be a place of "no refusal"—any driver who declines to cooperate with a Breathalyzer will have to submit to a blood draw.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving's (MADD) Missouri chapter has been advocating for this change, and St. Louis County is one of the few to have signed on so far. The organization hopes that this new policy will deter drunk driving.
