So if they come to your house, find you intoxicated, find your car keys on your kitchen table, then do you also lose your driving privileges? After all, you could, in your intoxicated condition, decide to get in your car and get involved in an accident that kills someone.
Now mind you, the Constitution grants you the right to own a gun—without any reference to whether you are sober or intoxicated. The Constitution says nothing about who can drive.
“So if they come to your house, find you intoxicated, find your car keys on your kitchen table, then do you also lose your driving privileges? ”
Excellent point. Or, at a restaurant having a drink with dinner. Apply the reasoning elsewhere, how’s it sound?
This “because you might ___________” ‘reasoning’ is abominably unAmerican, invasive and 1984ish.
DAs and prosecutors are big causes of this bullshit. Lawyers — enemies within.
That's because the people who wrote the Constitution had no idea that anyone would ever be dumb enough to claim that the common law right to travel was somehow a 'privilege' that could be revoked by the state at will. I wouldn't have ever believed it either.
