So the police are going to administer a test anytime they pull you over anyhow...why can’t I have a beer in my car again?
I could kind of understand before, when open alcohol would be reasonable grounds to have to test for sobriety. It if they are going to arbitrarily perform them anyway, it’s not really wasting anyone’s resources now, is it?

Example, I picked up some beers, and am now waiting for someone. Why is it a crime again if I have a beer while waiting? An officer can administer a test for no reason, what’s the issue with being well within legal?
