SurvivalBlog reader R.B. in Washington state writes in: Now Washington state is seeing detainment of motorists for roadside “surveys”. The online news video was edited from what actually was broadcast. One broadcast version has the same reporter saying (paraphrased) that a reluctance to participate in the survey might be an indicator of impairment.

Other states have conducted these “surveys”, including Pennsylvania, where a man has filed lawsuit for violation of 4th amendment rights. The common theme is they want a cheek swab and despite their saying it is voluntary, there is a lot of pressure to cooperate, and a policeman is present. Here, they want to possibly take a blood sample, too, and are paying $60 if you volunteer.
