It is, and that's wrong.

I have just been addressing the article that was linked a couple of pages back, not the law in general.
I personally don't find the new law allowing police to administer a breathalyser at a traffic stop all that intrusive, but I can understand why some may feel it is. If it is constitutional or not is a different story altogether, but that isn't a sword I feel strongly enough about to die on.
Independent of that, I do feel it is reasonable to test someone's blood alcohol for a certain period of time after they have committed a major crime with a vehicle. This is the part that the posted article has turned into the police being able to arrest everyone in a bar with a car parked outside strawman.
