Would you be willing to have your license taken away on the side of the road and then have to fight an uphill battle to get it back if you were innocent? All the while incurring thousands in costs you’ll never recover and possibly lose your job?.

I’m making no argument on what people should find acceptable, I’m just saying what I find acceptable. And yes, in a trade off for the lower burden on the court system and more drunk drivers recieving immediate punishment, I will gladly accept the minute possibility that I am A) pulled over sober and B) blow over while not having consumed a drink and C) am not given a second breathalyzer or test to verify my sobriety while recieving an unfair punishment.
Call me crazy, but yeah, i’ll happily roll the dice for the benefits.
