If somebody is exhibiting the behaviors associated with drunken driving, I personally have no problem with an officer pulling him over and finding out why.

I do have a problem with perfectly well functioning drivers being pulled over, searched (in violation of their constitutional rights), and ticket for nanny-state seatbelt violations.

Kiss a jackboot today.

The law in my neck of the woods parks down the road from nightclubs and gets their quota every Friday and Saturday night. Apparently the designated driver plan hasn't dawned on a lot of folks, yet it would sure save lives and legal fees.

Where "perfectly well functioning" means that the drunk driver hasn't killed anybody yet. However, after he has run over someone, Libertarian theology holds that the victim's family could file suit to recover damages.
