Commandeering vehicles is nothing new, and I'm sure the higher courts have 
already heard all they want on the subject. You would never even get the case 
to court. It would be like saying you have a Constitutional Right to drive 
without a driver's license. This is not a new law either, and you would get 
just about as far with this one, nowhere. The only way you would get a 
commandeering case to court would be if it involved a non-emmergency.
