The Supreme Court has placed new limits on state laws that make it a crime for drivers suspected of drunken driving to refuse alcohol tests.
Justices ruled Thursday that police need a search warrant before requiring motorists to take blood alcohol tests. But the court declined to require a warrant for breath tests, which it considers less intrusive.
Drivers in all 50 states can have their licenses revoked for refusing drunken driving tests. The court’s ruling affects laws in eleven states that impose additional criminal penalties for such refusals.
