KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas Supreme Court has struck down a state law that punished suspected drunken drivers who refuse to submit to sobriety testing even if police have not obtained a search warrant.
In a 6-1 ruling, the court declared the state law a violation of constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure, and by extension due process.
The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide the issue on a national scale.
