I'm glad to see this happen, The whole DUI issue is a gateway to destroy the rights and privacy of citizens.
Yeah, you're right.

It is worth 10,000 - 20,00 or even 30,000 more deaths on the road each year ...

I would HATE to be inconvenienced even 30 seconds to save a life not my own for the sanctity of not having my rights violated.

Presumes as fact matters not in evidence. In light of the inflated MADD DUI death statistics posted above, you should perhaps examine that figure, as well as consider alternate causuality.

i see...and how many more of your rights are you willing to give up for the "cause of the day"? Funny thing this line of reasoning. Many on this board castigate the Libertarians and libertarians that post here as advocating a 'pick and choose anarchy', while those who are supposedly more enlightened authoritarians are demonstrating their hypocracy while picking and choosing which God given rights they would have violated for their pet causes.

Don't mean to offend FRiend, but if the shoe fits wear it proudly. If not, then toss it.

The total is about 40k. Only about 10% of that is *caused* by drunk drivers. And most of those deaths are the drunk drivers killing only themselves, or their adult passengers who consented to the risk.

The percent of traffic fatalities who are innocent victims of drunk drivers is relatively small indeed. And the vast majority of those are killed by drunks with BACs over 0.15, where the real correlation with impairment is found.

You are sadly misinformed.

That's not what all this is about.
