Of course it's a stretch, but then 20 years ago I'd never have imagined the police could set up roadblocks and stop every car for hours to see if you might have a whiff of alcohol on your breath. Even that wasn't enough, so the next step was getting the limit lowered from typically .1 to .08 to increase the arrest rate from the typical less than 1 out of 1000 stopped. So while the specific actions are apples and oranges, the mind-set behind them is not.
