During the holidaysespecially there are back yard BBQ's, parties at people's homes, drinking at restaurants, in California at least a lot of drinking goes on at camp grounds and recreational areas, people buy booze in liquor stores and drinkin their car while driving ...There are a ~lot~ of bars around - there's just not the manpower to station cops at the exits to bar parking lots. Anyway, most bars around here don't have parking lots. Cars are parked on the street.

If you're looking for bank robbers, the obvious place to look is banks, right???I do not consider this to be any more an invasion of my privacy or aninfringement on my rights than some drunk assh*le smashing head on into my car, wiping it out, and hospitalizing me, or worse. Every time there's anaccident involving a drunk driver there are any number of people whocomplain that "they should get those drunks off the road." How might one get the drunks off the road unless there's some way to check to see who'sdriving drunk?Bob
