John R,
your correct. I am not sure that .08 should be an issue if the reason you were pulled over had to do with mechanical issues rather then driving wreckless down
the road. And I am not sure you should not get a pass if you are sleeping in the car. I am also not sure that driver was sleeping in the car soley because of the alcohol. Their may be other legitament reasons for the exhaustion. I am sure the police and court would
disregaurd any other reasons under our system if driver blew .08 or refused to blow.
I think a drunk driver can be devistating. I am sorry that we can't always tell who is able to drive and who is not. I will probably always think that a DUI that was stopped for mechanical issues, or seat belt, or road block, or sleeping in a parking lot or designated parking slot should not suffer the same penalty as a wreckless driver.
My original issue is that I feel we are over-policed, on the roads, in the off season here. I don't suspect I will change my mind about that either.
I had a house in Kansas until early this year. When driving to that home from here I could pass sometimes 6,8 patrol cars before getting through Freeport and then not see another, in a two week trip, until my return to Sowal. I'm not a criminal, but that is excessive.
