This is a bad idea, I'm all for cops being able to pull people over, make them take the tests and taking their cars away for 24 hours if they fail the tests.

I'm not for the police being the whole court system and being able to enact longer and more expensive suspensions without the oversight of the courts.

At the end of the day, this is going to create a even bigger backlog at the higher levels of the courts as people try to overturn this law.

The courts have to be there to police the police, and correct mistakes.
