We've had check stops for years. If they smell alcohol on you, they can get you to take the breathalizer. I don't remember this not being in place.
Yeah but this isn't about those spot checks. This is about some cruiser randomly giving you the lights to see if you've been drinking and driving.
I'm with andyt here, we don't need NEW legislation, we just need to actually enforce what's already there. I also think that anyone convicted of impaired driving should also have to get a set of "Whiskey Plates" for their car when they are allowed to drive again. These would be a specific set of plates that would let police know that the driver already has an impaired conviction.
Minnesota uses that system and it seems to work quite well.
Of course one little piece of legisaltion I'd love to see is banning retired cops from forming businesses that help drunk drivers get off the charge.
I mean seriously, what the fuck man?? Those greedy assholes should know better.
