It's not like at .07 a person is stone cold sober and at .08 they're magically impaired.
Some drivers may well be 'impaired' at .05, while others may not show any signs of being impaired even above .08.
I don't have a problem with police using their judgement to determine whether a driver, despite a low BAC reading, could represent a danger to other drivers on the road.

Well, sorry, I don't like judgement calls. It's like a speed limit. Is it in the judgement of the police if I'm going under the limit that I should get fined?
There is a legal limit for a reason.
And for the record, I don't ever touch a vehicle if I go out. Even if I only have one, I don't drive. Simply made the decision to not drive when I am anywhere near alcohol. It is the point of this though IMO.
