NHTSA wants "voluntary" breath, saliva, and blood samples

So the NHTSA is now doing random stops that are supposed to be voluntary, but they appear to be testing a new passive sensor device that can test your alcohol level just from you answering questions. They want saliva and blood samples if they can get them, but everyone stopped has been having this device used on them, even before they can consent to it.

30 cities
8 Million dollars
Completely Voluntary...

I swear I head the term "government contractor" used when referring to these "officers" that are pulling people over. Are the contractors actual, former or off-duty law enforcement officers? If that's not the case then how can this be a legal stop since the persons involved are impersonating police officers?

One side of the story, and supposed quotes from anonymous sources at the NHTSA, presented by an organization that generates revenue by generating controversy and getting people stirred up.

And I'm supposed to be...what? Scared? Skeptical, seems a more appropriate response.

I guess those contractors 'ride-along' w/ cops and are the ones actually doing those tests. They just take advantage of cops stopping citizens.

Except the parking lot in the video borders both the Fort Worth and Haltom City areas and the reporter asked both police departments (@ 1:06-1:17) and they didn't know what the reporters were talking about so they couldn't be doing ride-alongs unless it was state troopers and I highly doubt that.
