I don't care for police officers having the power to hand out 90 day suspensions based on their own discretion. Not all police officers are Sgt. Prestons. Some are power tripping meatheads who will abuse that power.

And for the record, I support zero tolerance for drinking and driving. Anything else is just a partway measure and inadequate. So my objection to police officers having the discretionary power to hand out 90 day suspensions is based on principle, not opposition to the law itself.
