The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement will be conducting drunken driving checkpoints, but this time deputies will do things a little differently.

If deputies suspect a driver is under the influence, they’ll offer an on-the-spot Breathalyzer. If drivers refuse, deputies will ask to draw their blood.

Attorney David Olson told WPBF News 25 that “would only be lawful if a warrant is issued by a judge.”

That’s just what deputies plan to do. They’ll actually drive to a judge’s home for a signature and return to the checkpoint.

Olson said drawing blood from drivers is usually done in extreme cases like homicides and fatal collisions. Olson said he’s not sure a judge would actually sign a warrant.

Drivers who refuse will be arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

DUI saturation patrols are set to begin Friday and will continue through Saturday.
