Missouri v. McNeely - Post-Argument SCOTUScast
SCOTUScast 1-16-13 featuring Erik Jaffe
On January 9, 2013, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Missouri v. McNeely. The question in this case is whether the Fourth Amendment’s “exigent circumstances” doctrine permits a law enforcement officer to take a warrantless, non-consensual blood sample from a drunk driver because of natural dissipation of alcohol in the bloodstream over time.
To discuss the case we have Erik Jaffe, a Washington, D.C. attorney who specializes in appellate litigation.
