Sorry, I don't trust your memory on this one as I followed it closely as well. I was actually on the other side of this and heavily against Redford. I listened to the restaurant and bar owners etc. and thought it was just a money grab and that they were going to nail people who had a glass at dinner. But it was Redford's government who was insisting that it would take more than a glass to get to 0.05 and that's where I finally got educated more on BAC.
I could see you being confused on Redford stating things like she was going to be "tough on drinking and driving" but she didn't mean 0 drinking and driving, she was talking about actual impairment (or at least 0.05 depending on how you feel about that).
You could be right about your exchange, I don't know, but I do know that the police were proactive in explicitly telling people it takes more than a drink to get to 0.05 (for a normal person at least).
