If you don't like the way the law is written, go do something about changing it. As long as it is what it is, you may as well know your rights.

I'm not sure I know ANYONE who hasn't driven under the influence at some point in their life. So stfu with your judgementalism

I've never driven under the influence of alcohol.

I have never driven while over the legal limit.

0.08 is just a line in the sand; some people could drive safely at twice that amount, and some people can't drive safely period--people like the idea of cracking down on people that get dwi's, but the fact is that not everyone deserves it. they're not all criminals or alcoholics; they're mostly just normal people

this is great advice yall are giving

i don't know where it is right now but i will look for it. there was a 2003(?) DOT study that stated alcohol related deaths and accidents had not fallen due to the reduction to the .08 standard instead of a .1, and that the only notable difference was an increase in arrests had taken place.

While this is true, I've seen cases tried where the suspect called for a witness, the officer administered the test not 5 minutes later and the judge refused to listen to the lawyers argument regarding the violation of the suspects rights.
