US Supreme Court decision impacts TN's 'No Refusal' law

Tennessee's No Refusal law allowed law enforcement to get a blood sample from somebody arrested for DUI, and in some cases, without a warrant. The idea was to obtain evidence of impairment as quickly as possible, before a suspect's body could metabolize it.

But a Supreme Court decision based on a Missouri case last week offered a more narrow interpretation of the law. Now all blood samples require a warrant signed by a judge, and counties will have to adjust their process.
