I'm all for lowering the limit on BAC, but I don't care for the apparent lack of due process that this new legislation seems to impose.

Absolutely. I'd have no problem with that.
What I have a problem with is spending time, money and law enforcement resources on a bandaid fix that targets the tiniest demographic from which the public benefits the least and has the most problems.
If the feds decide that 0.05 is the way to go, and many countries have, then fine. But theres no need to Mickey Mouse about provincially to target the 2%.
Realistically speaking, theres really very little upside to targeting the 0.05-0.08 crowd when the vast majority of the problem stems from the .08 and up crowd.
Target the real problem.
