Even if he's ignorant of the law, and confusing our laws/rights with the US, something like this is very scary. Sorry, you have no rights, is basically what I'm hearing here.
I mean, if he's swerving, excessively speeding or doing something unsafe, sure I guess you could suspect that alcohol was involved so you'd ask for a sample. However, you shouldn't just be able to pull someone over randomly and ask for a breathalyzer with ZERO suspicion, just because you can. What's next, DNA sample, blood sample, semen sample (for males), something else super invasive?? Of course I'm being ridiculous here to prove a point.
It's a very slippery slope, and I don't like the road this is heading down. A police state is something I'm not keen on living in.
