Most-quoted passages

““The result here is that Brunner s purported consent must be regarded as involuntary because coerced by the unfounded threat of suspension. The search (i.e., the blood test) must therefore be tested constitutionally as a warrantless search of the person made without consent. Constitutionally it would be valid under [Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757 , 16 L. Ed. 2d 908 , 86 S. Ct. 1826 (1966)] only if incidental to a valid arrest. Since there was no arrest at all, the search and its fruits must fall under the Fourth Amendment axe.” 211 Kan. at 605 .”
