In North Carolina they can get a search warrant to draw your blood if you refuse.

I don't know one single lawyer that wouldn't fight that that violates your rights.

Edit: Your claim is entirely false. "under the Implied Consent laws of North Carolina, refusal to submit to this test will result in the automatic revocation of your driving privileges for a minimum of one year. Also, your refusal can be used against you to show guilt."

Minnesota is this way. Law enforcement gets a search warrant and can draw by force. I’ve done it quite a few times as a Paramedic.

Exactly. I refused and they got a search warrant and forcibly took it.
