No-refusal campaign set for St. Patrick’s Day weekend in Kane County
The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office has announced its next no-refusal operation is set for St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The office will not reveal which municipalities will participate in the operation, according to a news release Friday.
In a no-refusal operation, police speed up the DUI booking process by partnering with prosecutors to quickly obtain a search warrant to compel suspected drunken drivers to submit a lawfully requested blood or breath test as required by Illinois’ Implied Consent statute. The initiative is designed to thwart suspected drunken drivers who refuse to submit to a breath test after a DUI arrest.
“This office has a responsibility to prosecute DUI offenders, and to educate the public not to drive when they drink,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said in the release. “As has been our practice, I will not say which municipalities will participate. I only will announce when we will have the no-refusal operation.”
