No Refusal Weekend and the Squeezer



Sometime soon, drunken driving suspects in Kane County will have a new choice: Get your blood-alcohol level measured in a breath, blood, urine test, have your blood drawn involuntarily or to be squeezed by a device that gathers a fecal sample.

On No Refusal Weekend the option of refusing to take a test will not be available. At least not to drivers arrested by St. Charles, Batavia and Geneva police and Kane County sheriff's deputies.

On No Refusal Weekend, police will seek a search warrant to draw your blood or obtain a fecal sample via the "Squeezer". Search warrants have been written and stored at the Geneva Police Department; all officers have to do is fill in the specific details, have an assistant state's attorney review it and track down a participating judge, even at home, to sign it.
