  Most of the stats in the NTSB report that started this whole discussion come from other
  countries that dropped from .08 to .05 BAC and saw some type of decrease in accidents (some
  very small, some up ...

  "BAC limits are a lot like speed limits."What a totally disingenuous argument. In order to make
  that comparison you would have to accept that everyone who is driving is drinking. Not only
  that, I don'...

  I have been told by some boys in blue that you are 'technically' in public if you can be seen
  from public property (read, the road). I also seem to remember a news report from 9-10 years

  knowledge o...

  More are concerned about their cases being tossed than you think as it speaks to the quality of
  cases the cop submits. Especially when they get the same judge over and over again and the DA
  is unlikel...

  A couple points. First, the PAS breathalyzer in the field is still just for probable cause
  purposes and has to be added to driving actions, and field sobriety tests. If you don't have
  more than just t...

  Not to split hairs, but the cop can't lie on a breath test. The on-scene breath-test is
  probable cause only and needs to have printouts from the breathalyzer machine and is only used
  for probable caus...

  We can all be responsible and try not to drive distracted (texting, chatting, looking at the
  GPS trying to figure out where we are, etc) or impaired (alcohol, prescription meds, etc).
  However I suspec...
