here's the problem i have w/that statute:

1) why does the county have to implement the program and spend more tax dollars?

2) in many states, they have made it mandatory to have in place a breathalyzer in the car for habitual offenders - at their own expense. in most cases they have to have it installed for at least 5 yrs.

3) just because i go in and breathe, what makes you think i am going to drive my car! same goes if after installing the breathlyzer. way around this, is require them to be allowed to drive a vehicle that has one installed and driving a vehicle without can be just as costly as a dui.

4) or the ultimate: give him a license that is marked as an habitual offender with red flags, that will not allow him to purchase alcohol and force the various vendors to pull id's on all individuals purchasing alcohol.

i think #3 is the better end of the bargain. because it really does not stop them just by going to the local county office. what if you wanted to take a vacation? or if you were to drive someone else's vehicle?
