Nothing stops them from doing that now.
This isn't about stopping drinking and driving as I think you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks it should be OK to do so. This is about due process and protecting the rights of individuals to defend themselves from false prosecution and a massive financial burden imposed by people not trained to do so. There are a plethora of pitfalls in this legislation.
