Those driver's that are stopped on a public road, should be subject to a DUI check, in order to insure public safety. Allowing drunk driver behind the wheel, is like allowing a sh!t head to set up a firing range on our freeways and road,... only, the bullets used by these drunks, are 2 ton automobiles. Just hope that I am never in the cross hairs.


I agree with you and so does the US Supreme Court. The problem is that the Washington State Supreme Court and 9th Circuit are far more restrictive to law enforcement when it comes to 4th Amendment issues. I have to laugh when people comment on their civil liberties being taken away in this state. They would be shocked if they saw how things are done across the country.
