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.

If this is a change to the legal limit than I would be okay with it. I would hope it is done with due process and a bit of research first to determine and state what the intent of the law is though. One of the things that bothers me though is how quickly this is being pushed through. I don't recall Allison mentioning this plan during her campaign so I can't figure out why there is suddenly such a hurry to have this thing passed before Christmas.
The other part of this proposed law that is bugging me is that it appears to punish those below 0.08 not because they are a danger but more to scare those above 0.08. If that is the case I am not really sure how I feel about it. If it works to reduce deaths then maybe it is worth it, but if we are giving up personal rights for the collective good then I think that that conversation should be had.
