The legal limit is the legal limit. If you think it should be lower than .08, then lobby to have that law changed. Again, I have ZERO sympathy for drunk drivers and am all for harsher penalties for idiots who get behind the wheel when they're over the legal limit. My problem is that this bill gives cops (not the courts) the power to punish people who haven't even committed a criminal offence.
