[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 437767, member: 4653"] I have a problem with our fate being determined by a police officer that has never met me before. If i'm under .08 I should not be charged. How did the cop become judge, jury and executioner in this area of law??? My opinion is .08 is hardly impaired. I think it amounts to one drink for a woman and 2 for a man. If this is the case, everyone leaving dinner at their favorite resturaunt is impaired if they have more than one glass off wine. Also, I speak from recent expeirience here, everybody leaving the nightclubs and pubs at 2 A.M. are legally drunk. Some people are ok to drive, and most are not. How does our society allow these buildings to operate when everyone knows that the patrons who leave are legally intoxicated? I'm serious. The state will let bars operated until 2 A.M. in Mass. but expects all the patrons to be sober? This is nuts? I do believe that there are people who can drive safely at 2 A.M. I will say that even though I think they can drive safely at 2 AM they have a blood-alcohol content of over .08. Lets be realistic here. 95% of the bar is over the limit! Just like the poster said that the officer can say you are drunk and you blow under the legal limit, I can blow over the legal limit and still be OK to drive. Why not just arrest everyone leaving the bar who drives? Most of them are guilty of the plus .08. I've leared though its always sombody 2-3 times the limit who hurts somebody and they are always driving over the speed-limit. This is where people get killed. It rarely happens that someone with a .09 BAC and drives the speed limit that hurts anyone. I'm just throwing it out there. I hate drunk drivers, but every local police department allows it every single weekend in every city in Massachusetts. For myself, I can drive after 3 beers. At my weight I would be over .08. I can drive after 6 beers. I can have 8 beers and drive safely at 2 AM. There is nobody on the road and I don't speed. I would be arrested if I blew the breathalizer, but would never be a threat on the road. Its the idiots who get leg-less and speed like maniacs that cause accidents. I never hear of the person doing 30 MPH (which is what I drive) and killing someone. I can go on, but I think you can get the gist of my thoughts. 8 beers is probably too many for me, but 4-7 is not over 3 hours when I eat. I would be legally drunk but am not a danger on the road and could pass the field-sobriety test blind-folded, lol. I look forward to any replies! [/QUOTE]
