Hey Ray!
Cool use (and proper) of the word "proscribe".
You put all this together yourself? Doesn't look like your writing style and are you somehow expecting me to dispute any of this?
This is reasonable discourse and I agree with everything.
Hopefully you'll grasp the proper context and comprehension. That is where our differences will likely arise.
You came on to the thread defending c/p's as legitimate and effective. Call it a morbid curiosity, but I have watched DUI and alcohol's impact (NPI) on accidents and the death toll for 30 years.
Anecdotally, every news account that I have read put's the arrest rate at 2 or 3%. Last year, looking at a NHTSA report, it confirmed it as closer to 2% than 3%. Reports from PDs all over the country indicate that they have much higher rates of DUI arrest from roving patrols. Many are discontinuing c/p's for that reason. My local community refuses to participate in the regional task force, but they still pull over plenty of drunks. Those who present a risk are evident. Most people can safely drive home after even more than a few drinks as evidenced by the fact that they do every night of the week.
Perhaps because you appeared to be unconcerned with the facts and defended that practice vigorously, I reacted too quickly. I've run across (and over) many here that routinely relinguish liberty for some percieved notion of safety and I put you into that category.
If you agree with me on most things, then you can't be all bad. We just need to get your mind right on this.
Cheers and apologies for having misjudged you.
