MADD Hater, MADD is not a prohibitionist organization. The last I checked they say nothing about drinking alcohol by itself, only drinking alcohol and then driving. And while there are quite a number of other causes of injury, illness, death, dismemberment and injustice they happen to focus on drunk driving. Campaigning against drunk driving is as noble a cause as campaigning for a cure for prostate cancer, campaigning against violence or any other cause to ease human suffering. As for independent testing of breath results - that's impossible due to how quickly alcohol is metabolized. The number reached by the independent test would always be lower than the number the officer got on the scene, and not in a predictible way. I don't have a fix for it, but since I don't have a problem with on-site breath testing it's not up to me to fix a problem I don't see. What's your solution? I have yet to ever hear you put forth a solution to the obvious problem of drunk driving. So enlighten us. How, in your opinion, should we address drunk driving?
