Again an excellent example of "Mission creep". First there were lap top seat belts, installed as a practical safety measure, left up to the discreation of the driver as to whether one used it or not. Then came the over shoulder model along with stronger warnings to drivers to use them. Then states started passing laws that required you to wear a seat belt, you could be fined if you were pulled over for some other violation and weren't buckled up. Now it's a stand alone violation allowing police to pull you over if they observe you not wearing a seat belt.
Most states now consider drivers that blow an .08 on the sobriety test legally intoxicated. This threshold has been lowered to the point that if you go out to dinner and have a couple of glasses of wine or beer a driver can be hit with a DUI if stopped on the way home. The "nanny state" mentallity prevails.

Yes, I remember each of these steps.

The most perfect solution is to hire a car, like a limousine, with a professional driver, every time one goes out to dinner. This is how the gentry avoids these problems with police and roadblocks. The state imposes this cost upon us, as an alternative to possible fines and criminal charges, for enjoying wine with dinner.

I expect to see these traps become more common as the unjust use of governmental power becomes increasingly more accepted. I say: Tyranny borders upon well-regulated freedoms, and spreads its seeds therein.
