It's not a question of whether or not there should be consequences for impaired driving. It's the fact that this is a blatant erosion of a key part of out legal system, the presumption of innocence. No one should be ok with a system that assumes guilt as soon as a police officer accuses someone of an offense and allows the same officer to dole out punishment on the spot, then forces an accused to prove their innocence while being punished for the supposed offense.
Even if you are able to prove your innocence, chances are by that time, you life has already been irreparably harmed.
