The more jurisprudence focuses upon the potential to commit offenses (”your so high you might hurt someone”) instead of actual offenses (”you hurt someone”), we can expect a deepening morass with liberty (and its attendant responsibilities) sinking into the same.

Indeed. Laws should be based on actual harm rather than potential harm.

I also do not support DWI laws. That gets you in trouble here with the nannty-staters.
