No brainer, even for an ardent civil libertarian.

They act on witness tips all the time. Why should a tip that someone is driving badly not be reasonable suspicion to detain for drunkeness? Haven't they had "report a drunk" tip lines for years?

Since driving is a gov't granted and regulated privilege, I less inclined to have a problem with this ruling.

"They have just given a great tool to angry drivers," she said.

Beats physical violence. I though law enforcement can through callerID blocking.

If you're not juiced and endangering lives, there is nothing to worry about.

If you have "four on the floor and an open 5th under the seat", or a sizeable quantity of illegal drugs, illegal aliens or *AOL sign-up CD's in your vehicle, you may have a problem.

*If the vehicle is a garbage truck or "Hazmat" cleanup vehicle it can haul as many AOL CD's as weight limits allow.

Cops have been using the old "you were weaving" BS for years as a pretext for a fishing expedition for making the monthly quota. This just expands it, not that you would be able to tell anyway.
