Can we honestly expect alcoholics to make good decisions? Thats like asking a "crack head" to not use too much crack when its heavaly available. The government classifies them both as having diseases, but they're thrown in jail instead of recieving help. I think it's an easy way to pay for law enforcement, and thats why nothing has been done.

It's all a money making thing or it wouldn't be around.
Federal money is given to each state, Then the state money is given to the counties.
I've was down 20 months, and the prisons are full of DWI's and DUI's and drug offenses. So, in turn they have to build more prisons to keep the murders, sex offenders in. Our criminal justice system is not perfect by a long shot. And I wish I had the answer, but you know I'm a felon and not creditable anymore. I committed forgery. I'm not proud my any means. But, you know what? I will use that experience to get me where I want to be and that is to help others prevent the same mistake I made.

which will be presuming the motive force become inebriated without due procedure. that does no longer be too a lot diverse than to arrest all gun vendors for homicide because they posses a gun, no longer because they dedicated any criminal act. Or have infant protecting amenities visit all homes the position children stay via the undeniable fact that is presumed the mothers and fathers are abusing their children. all of us could have a sober passenger blow into the breathalyzer. those who imagine that is a sturdy concept will change their innovations once they ought to provide their autos a ******** each and every time they want to bypass someplace. it receives previous very quick.

It would not solve it, however, it may put a tiny dent in it. There are too many ways to get around it. As long as there is drugs and alcohol, there will be DUIs. The cell phone has been one of the best tools in the fight on DUI.

No, a breathalyzer in every car would just be a costly gimick that would be undermined like seat belts and air bags. If we really want to stop drunk driving, we need to take licenses away from proven drunk drivers and never give them back. Instead of fining them, we should impound their cars and let them pay the cars off despite not having them.
One other step would be to not have parking lots by bars or allow bars on roadways where one cannot easily walk.

Breathalyzers in every car could stop the DUI epidemic...but it would help the Big Brother epidemic keep on rolling.

No. People get around that now. Have you ever seen "The 40-year-old Virgin"? The drunk chick at the bar that's taking him home has him blow into the breathalizer in her car, as he has had nothing to drink.

I'm sure they would find a way around it. While I realize there are drunk drivers out there, I didn't know it rated being called "an epidemic".

Yes it would solve the problem, it also might violate everyone else's fourth amendment right not to be subject to unreasonable searches or a violation of people's privacy rights. I am not certain how the Supreme Court would rule on such a law, as this most definitely would be challanged.
