Regular Guy I am with you. I can't put my finger on it but there is something about drunk driving legislation that stinks of political correctness. I was in favor of the .10 in the USA and the the federal government threatened my State to withhold funds until they reduced the legal limit to .08...hell, I wake up .08 but I digress. A driver over 18 but under 21 has a BAC of .01 and he is drunk and guilty of a felony? He is not too young to get his head blown off in the Middle East but he (or she) can't drive at .07 BAC like everyone else? In my state they have to give you two tickets. One for driving while intoxicated or under the influences and the other for BAC of above .08...why? Because you can prove that you can still function and are therefore not driving while intoxicated. Oh and by the way, how many police officers are arrested for drunk driving or are given tickets? Not very many. Why? Because they have had some training and have seen the results of drunk driving? Not on your life! It is because their fellow officers will let them off each and every time. I just read an article on Yahoo about how police across the country are writing more tickets to make up for budget short falls. i know how we can pay for health care. Increase the drinking age to 26 and reduce the legal limit to .04 and give out free beer. It's about making money and sounds good to the ladies in the beauty parlor sitting under a hair drier. It used to be about public safety and now it is about public safety and making money.
If we have a budget shortfall don't make up for it by harassing your populace. How about we cut the generous pensions of the loafers that work for US Government? Now there is a cause I would support. Reduce their pay and cut their pensions.
