Apparently, you don't understand or can't appreciate the difference between driving drunk and driving
Ummmm, that would be established at .08.
Cops lie all the time and as a result, they often require people to "blow" even if they pass the field sobriety tests.
So do people, and your point is? All cops should be treated as liars? If you have a cop treating you improperly then by all means BUST EM.
I support cameras in cop cars, It is best for cops and for people they deal with. I would like to ask you....how many of those folks that are convicted now would make the same case that the cop was just lying....at the time when there was no cameras?
Cops are not the only thing needed to convict, which,again, is a means to BACK BAC rather than to oppose it.

You really don't have clue. The BAL .08 has nothing to do with a person's actual level of impairment. It is an arbitrary limit that the MADD gang has pushed into legislation. Some people get drunk after 1 glass of wine. Other people don't behave intoxicated until they have consumed several glasses of wine. THe .08 is just a number.
Sure, a person wrongfully targeted by a cop can accuse the cop of lying. Not a good idea, however. Cops don't like troublemakers. In some places cops have been known to make life difficult for complainers.
