Texas PING.

The founder of MADD saw the neoprohibition writing on the wall and left the organization decades ago to speak out against it.

They are now pushing for .05% for conviction.

Thing is, you can already be convicted at that level. Blowing below .08 doesn’t mean you are “innocent of driving while impaired”, it just means that blowing OVER 0.08% “means” you are guilty of being OVER 0.08 which carries its own charge.

Utah and elsewhere are pushing for breath ignition systems for all cars, not just those of charged/convicted drivers.

And then there is the “if you are out after midnight you must be guilty of something” attitude.

“Eventually, anybody that’s driving in the city of Houston or anywhere in the state of Texas after 11 o’clock at night, near a restaurant or bar, is going to be susceptible to being stopped, arrested and convicted, because anybody putting any alcohol in their system is going blow something,” KTRK Legal Analyst Joel Androphy said.
