Oh please. Can you please cite cases where “stone cold sober” individuals were convicted of drunk driving? It might happen on very, very rare occasions, but people also get wrongly convicted for murder. Should we make murder legal to eliminate the potential for false murder convictions?

We could easily require blood testing for those who blow a number over the limit, eliminating the possibility of false convictions based upon faulty breathalyzers. If I ever blew anything over 0.0% I would demand a blood test to prove my innocence.

It is far more common for “stone cold DRUNK” drivers, with slick lawyers, to weasel their way out of convictions.

There already are laws against reckless driving (while sober).

Driving drunk is a reckless, selfish, anti-social act that puts innocent lives in grave danger. No conservative should tolerate such an affront to a Civil Society.

If people know they will serve a year in jail for a first offense, only degenerate drunks and criminals would ever get behind the wheel drunk.

This is the standard argument of nanny-staters who wish to bargain away our rights in exchange for a little perceived safety. Next, I expect you to come back with "If just one live can be saved, then these new laws will be well worth it..."

People like you will simply not be happy until we live in a police state where everybody is subject to roadblocks and search & seizure at any time.

Here you go with a link. There are many more out there getting persecuted, thanks to the witch hunt you and other nanny-staters are advocating.
