The officer smelled something, possibly alcohol, and made the driver walk a line, stand on one foot, and then a counting drill before administering the breath-o-lyzer – a hand held computer device that reads the alcohol content after breathing through a tube.DWA: Driving with altoids.

It's really just a lot of nonsense that "assures" people the police are "doing something" about something that is perceived to be a major crisis in public safety.

I got stopped last Fall (In Fairfax Co). He did a prime face sobriety test on me and let me go. I wasn't drunk, but I had a beer or two. I was honest with him and said I had some beer but I was okay. He checked my eyes and gave me a flyer.

a pickup truck nearly rolled past the officer’s outstretched arm, so the driver was motioned over for a field sobriety test. Can't they just arrest him for DWS (Driving while stupid)? Sometimes I almost wish they could arrest people for DWS. :)
But ya'll are right, this is really creepy in a Nazi kind of way.

In my town they just need to set up roadblocks on both ends of the road surround IHOP. About 2:30 am business would be booming for them.

This is nothing but revenue enhancement. They hope to catch outstanding warrants or expired tags.

And the cops in town get their jollies off harrassing college students. If your drunk and you have to get home you can be in serious trouble because you sure don't want to drive, but you will get ticketed for walking home too.

Responding to public outrage over idiots drinking and driving. Agreed. Drinking AND driving is now illegal (recent development).
However, drinking then driving; while inadvisable and impractical, is still legal in all 50 states-for now.
