The head of Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council said the state’s solicitors and law enforcement officers aren’t thwarted by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down a Missouri law that allowed officers to conduct warrantless blood tests on suspected intoxicated drivers.
Since 2001, Georgia law has allowed officers to procure search warrants for blood samples by teleconferences with judges. "Georgia was ahead of the curve," said Charles "Chuck" Spahos, the executive director of the council, which provides training and financial support for state prosecutors.
