That's IMPAIRED driving. This is criminalizing drinking. The new "standard" they are pushing for (down from present 0.08 and prior 0.15) is 0.03-0.05.
It's about getting "easier" convictions. More revenues. More wins on paper.
The founder of MADD left the organization she began in the 1980s when she saw the way it was heading. She lobbied against them on behalf of brewers and bars in the 1990s.
Utah wants breathalyzer ignitions on all cars, prior charges or not. Hey, we can all take the time to respond to a nagging ignition system wanting a "retest" while we've are driving, right? Rainy roads can wait.
If we are going to take these measures with drinking and driving, we'd better be at least as strict when it comes to cellphone/texting and driving. That causes accidents throughout the day, not just 10pm-6am.
There's a reason we call them 'U-tards'.
Somehow, the whole idea of "Honey, come over here and blow in this tube, so I can go get some more beer" hasn't crossed what passes for a brain here.
“It’s about getting “easier” convictions. More revenues. More wins on paper.”
Yes you are right its about revenue collection. The fine for a DUI in GA is I believe over $2,000.00 not to mention the lawyer fees so its a racket for the lawyers also.
Its also about control and loss of rights. The roadblocks and the mandatory blood tests are unconstitutional and people need to let their local and state politicians know they don’t want it.
