The South Dakota Supreme Court has ruled that the state's implied consent law for drunken driving enforcement is unconstitutional.

The 2006 law allows for blood to be drawn from suspected drunk drivers even without their permission or a warrant. The blood tests are used to determine the amount of alcohol in a driver's system.
