I was listening to the radio while running an errand when I heard the Mueller Report had been released. The above link was the first that came up when I did a search. I quickly posted the story using my mobile phone to get it to the community as quickly as possible. Here are additional sources as well as the MD5SUM and resultant file sizes from downloading each. The CNN file has a different size from the others. A quick inspection suggests that it contains searchable text (presumably through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing) whereas the others contain images of each of the pages in the report.

> have I ever refused a test for blood alcohol. No, of course not. I would have no reason to refuse. Assuming the test is accurate it will always be zero and thus evidence in my favor. Why would I obstruct such a test.
How about religious reasons? For some, blood is sacred, and for an adult even accepting a transfusion to stay alive is courting eternal damnation.
How about because sensors are often wrong? Search for the calibration error cases; there was at least one well publicized jurisdiction where years of results were thrown out because badly calibrated breathalizers could blow over limit from a completely sober blower.
How about because the imposition of such tests has in the past been used as a tool of systemic oppression? Why the fuck should I lose fifteen minutes of my day for a stop-and-check while white dudes stroll past, rubbernecking?
How about because some people faint at the idea of their blood being drawn so there's medical harm to them.
How about if I were MDC, maybe interacting with the police is best avoided for the overall social good anyways, and there are others, with PTSD or schizoaffective or whatever, with completely valid reasons for being uncomfortable around authority.
Your failure to (use your imagination or to literally) see how mandatory testing without evidence has a negative impact on some persons being tested is your failure and like a person who, in the atrium at a concert, professes their favorite song is "chopsticks," you look really stupid for it.
C'mon. This is soylent. Write and talk like it's to a wiser, older mentor. Don't wave your failings around as if they prove anything but your ability to fail.
