The proposed system seems better than the current system to me, and while neither is perfect, I just don’t think the risk of a sober person getting pulled over by a bad cop, getting falsely accused of impaired driving without any evidence (I.e. no breathalyzer, or two faulty breathalyzer), and punished on the spot is anything more than minute.
You can look at pretty much any law and think of a scenario where it would be ineffective or poorly applied, but unless the chances of that are more than minute, then I don’t think you worry about it.

Hi acknowledge your view. I see where you're coming from but disgaree. These are the stats with due process:

That's just CPS.
Those numbers are far too high to also make the police the prosecution, defence, judge, and jury.
Also, every single example and scenario given in this thread has been at a check point not someone being pulled over. Ultimately that doesn't change the issue with the legislation itself but you are (I believe unintentionally) straw manning the argument.
