Its like tweeting the location of speed traps or photo radar. Excessive speed I am guessing likely causes more deaths than drunk driving.

I have to agree here.
First we have a 50 page thread about how the government has overstepped their bounds and we will have countless innocent people charged without due process yada, yada yada.
Now we have a guy who will help those people, along with some drunks, and he's a villain?
I agree with the post above that I thanked. Do you really think that someone who is ####faced wasted is going to have the foresight to check up on a twitter feed before they drive home?
This will help a lot of borderline people who may have been unjustly charged by the new laws. It may also help some drunks drive without prosecution. He's also going to help a bunch of stone cold sober people avoid hour long line ups and not miss whatever engagement it is that they're trying to attend.
How many really drunk people (.08 or higher) is this guy really going to warn? How many wouldn't have taken that route anyways?
It isn't the greatest thing I've ever heard of but it also isn't the worst.
