Well see you can't say I don't try to find concensus and a rational approach.And although I understand you idea in theroy it's not legally enforceable. It leaves way to much up to the interpretation of the arresting officer. He could believe... or say he believed... any number of reactions were "drunk" reations. Maybe I'm a stutterer or maybe I have an inner ear infection giving me balance issues... OR MAYBE HE JUST HATES MY GUTS!There's nothing wrong with a breath test as long as the baseline limit is reasonable. I personally believe they went into over zealous territory when they dropped it down to .08 from .1 but I understand the need for some standard measure that can be applied to everyone. And you know if you don't think the breath test is fair you can always ask for a blood or urine test. The police are more than glad to accomadate you on that as they feel those test are even more accurate be it a little more more time consuming. Bottom line: Set a reasonable baseline standard and raise the punishment level as the imparment moves up seems very fair to me. And for gods sake I certainly don't want the cops to just guess by looking at me.
