"There's a report out tonight that 24-years ago I was apprehended in Kennebunkport, Maine, for a DUI. That's an accurate story. I'm not proud of that. I oftentimes said that years ago I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much and I did on that night. I was pulled over. I admitted to the policeman that I had been drinking. I paid a fine. And I regret that it happened. But it did. I've learned my lesson."

"I must vigorously dissent from the well-written opinion of the majority, as it seems we are coming perilously close to turning a blind eye to questionable conduct by our police officers. While I acknowledge that our police officers are charged with the awesome and sometimes onerous responsibility of protecting the public, I cannot sanction the whisperings of the majority that that protection comes at the deprivation of the constitutional rights of citizenship. We do not want a police state, and it seems we are on the precipice of becoming one, in the name of DUI. I suggest that the Court, and the police, can ill afford to sanction this type of conduct."

"The governor of Utah has two problems with a State Senate proposal to scan the IDs of everyone who visits a bar in the state and make that database available to law enforcement officials. Gov. Jon Huntsman told The Associated Press, 'I think that for most people that is a rather frightening, almost Orwellian, proposition.' Utah already has the strictest alcohol laws in the country, requiring tipplers to become members of any bar they patronize by paying a small fee and filling out a brief application. Huntsman, a Republican, at the behest of bar and restaurant owners, asked the state legislature to review the club law and consider replacing it with electronic scanners that could determine if a patron was under the legal drinking age of 21 years. In doing so, some lawmakers from his own party realized that the information obtained by those scanners could be used by the police to investigate drunken driving incidents and proposed creating a database to store that information. The proposal has met with opposition from the governor, bar owners, civil liberties groups and drinkers who believe it encroaches on individual privacy. 'If we're going to have a database, I think that's great but it needs to be open to the public,' said Jay Chambers, 33, of Salt Lake City. 'I want to see everyone, every legislator's record of what bars they've been to.' Under state dram shop laws, bars that overserve alcohol to drunken patrons involved in hit-and-run incidents can be sued by a victim or a victim's family. 'What's important to MADD is not so much the database as much as it is assurance that a record is kept so someone can make a dram shop liability case,' said Art Brown the chapter's spokesman."

"Police officers administering tests used to determine whether a motorist is guilty of a serious drunk driving offense may not actually know what they are doing. The Ohio Inspector General yesterday released a scathing report that accused a state highway patrol post of cheating on tests used to certify proficiency with breathalyzer units. 'Cheating, no matter the circumstances, has no place in a law enforcement agency. It cannot be tolerated, encouraged, or condoned.' Conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) carries harsh penalties that can cost more than $10,000 in fines and attorney fees. Under current law, a guilty or not guilty verdict often rests solely on the results produced by machines that estimate the amount of alcohol in the blood based upon a breath reading. Police in Ohio may only use these machines if they have up-to-date certification from the state Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Testing, which requires an annual written renewal exam. This cheating was so blatant that five sergeants knew about it, but failed to take any action."

"One of the major defects in many methods of blood-alcohol
analysis is the failure to identify ethanol to the exclusion of all other chemical compounds. Thus a client with other compounds in his blood or breath may
have a high 'blood-alcohol' reading with little or no ethanol in his
body. If you look at the warranties - it is sort of interesting - none
of the breath machine manufacturers warrant these things to actually
test blood alcohol."

"Chuck Hurley, the CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, had been appointed to head the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — the federal agency that, among other things, sets safety standards for auto manufacturers. And MADD’s latest gimmick they claim will 'literally wipe out drunk driving in the United States' is installation of ignition interlock devices – eventually in every car sold in the U.S. Expect more DUI roadblocks — and get used to taking a breathalyzer test every time you want to start your car. And very possibly lowered speed limits, ala Joan Claybrook’s 55-mph national limit on federal interstates."

"An Australian man asked Frankston Magistrates' Court to remove the breath testing alcohol interlock device from his car. Prosecutors inquired why the machine had registered a 'fail,' which prevents the car from starting, despite the man's claims that he had not been drinking. The man claimed the alcohol reading was the result of eating a Bubble O' Bill ice cream treat and Magistrate Rod Crisp ordered a test to be performed to back up the claim. Police recorded the man's blood alcohol content as 0.00 and performed the test a second time after he took a few bites of Bubble O' Bill, yielding a 0.018 reading. Crisp granted the man's request to remove the breath testing device from his car. Experts said consuming some foods or drinks before breath tests can cause a false positive reading."

"If you want to drink, that's your business. But as soon as you drink and get behind the wheel of a car, it becomes my business. It [the brain of 18-year-olds] isn’t developed, and that’s exactly why the draft age is 18, because these kids are malleable. They will follow the leader, they don’t think for themselves and they are the last ones I want to say ‘here’s a gun, and here’s a beer.’ They are not adults; that’s why they’re in the military. MADD has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I had ever wanted or envisioned. I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving. Police ought to be concentrating their resources on arresting drunk drivers, not those drivers who happen to have been drinking. I worry that the movement I helped create has lost direction."

"Interlock technology was developed to keep chronic drunks off of our roads. And when used for that purpose, interlocks are an effective tool. But the neo-prohibitionist movement is slowly redefining 'drunk.' For most people the term 'drunk' means slurred speech, uncoordinated movements, and delayed reactions. But it only takes one drink in many states for a driver to be arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI). And now anti-alcohol activists want to put an ignition interlock in your car. Since the end goal is preventative, rather than punitive technology, the groups are scrapping the term “ignition interlock” in hopes of also ridding their new campaign of its negative associations. In its place, they’ve coined a new name - Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS). Note the use of 'impaired' as 'drunk.' Even though 0.08 BAC is considered the legal limit in all 50 states, many law enforcement agencies have adopted the position that “there is no absolute ‘legal limit’ except ‘zero.’ Universal interlocks could impose de facto prohibition on responsible adults by making it impossible to drive home from a restaurant, ball game, or any social event where beer, wine, spirits are served if you’ve had just a small amount of alcohol. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administrator Nicole Nason told Automotive News in August 2007 that getting interlock technology every car in America could take decades. But she concluded: 'We have to start now.' “MADD began floating the notion of taking this concept to its logical conclusion: It wants every automobile to come equipped with passive Breathalyzer-like technology that will screen the alcohol level of every driver. Several states, including New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma, have already considered legislation to mandated interlocks on all vehicles.”

"Lowering the legal drinking age of 21 would put more drunken drivers on the road, criminal justice leaders warn. 'Underage drinkers are far less experienced to make good choices. We should be protecting them,' said Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas. The chief's comments echoed other law enforcement officials attending a National Leadership Conference in Nashville this week who were astonished that some 100 college and university presidents across the country have suggested lowering the legal drinking age. The movement, called the Amethyst Initiative, contends a lower drinking age would deter binge drinking on college campuses. The statement, signed by heads of universities including Duke, Dartmouth and Johns Hopkins, claims that the current drinking age has created a 'culture of dangerous, clandestine, binge drinking' and notes that 18-year-olds can vote and enlist in the military but 'are told they are not mature enough to have a beer.' The statement asks lawmakers to support a public debate and invites new ideas for encouraging alcohol responsibility. Amethyst Initiative founder and former president of Middlebury College John McCardell said the situation facing university presidents was more complex than a liability issue. 'Presidents who would observe the word of law have only abstinence to fall back on to enforce a law that's unenforceable,' McCardell said. 'The 21 age limit has not been very successful in reducing drinking. It clearly isn't working because it is a message of prohibition and a reminder of prohibition's failure.' He also said it was unrealistic to expect underage drinkers to stop drinking in the face of tougher enforcement."

"The Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center has dispatched uniformed and presumably armed (we have no confirmation of the latter) soldiers to assist the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the operation of unconstitutional sobriety checkpoints in San Bernardino County, California, the largest county in California and the country, east of Los Angeles. Gary Daigneault, News Director at KCDZ-FM based in Joshua Tree, California, said the California Highway Patrol was less than forthcoming with their plan to team up with the military police. After running an editorial last week reminding the Marines stationed at the Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center of the illegality of such an operation, the California Highway Patrol sent the radio station a fax indicating that the action would not include military police. By law — to avoid entrapment — the California Highway Patrol is required to provide the location of its checkpoints to the media at least two hours prior. Although the CHP did provide the radio station with a telephone number to get this information, when the number was called there was no answer. Marine Corps military police, in uniform and in marked military police cars, were indeed teamed up with CHP outside of a Home Depot in the town of Yucca Valley. CHP in Joshua Tree deliberately released disinformation to the media designed to cover its participation with the Marines, as noted a direct violation of Posse Comitatus."

"Let me start with law enforcement contacts with respect to traffic stops, for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The Fifth amendment of the Bill of Rights states that we are not to be forced to incrimnate ourselves. The actual wording is, you cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself. If you are stopped for suspicion of DUI, these are your rights regardless of the laws of your state. First of all, you are to deny having consumed any alcoholic beverages whatsoever. You are never to admit to having one or two drinks. If you admit to consuming even one drop of alcohol, you open the door to 'probable cause', allowing the police officer to search your car for open containers. Next, you are never to submit to a Field Sobriety Test. You are to refuse to do so. They cannot make you walk the line, they cannot make you balance or anything else. Now when you are arrested, you are to refuse to allow a blood-alcohol test, regardless of what state law 'requires', such as revocation of driving priveleges for a period of time. That's an attempt to compel you to be a witness against yourself. Supreme Court decisions in this area are very specific with regards to your rights as folows: Lefkowitz vs Turley, and the Fifth Amendment, provides that no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, and permits him to refuse to any any other qustions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings."

"Mr. Speaker, my subject today is whether America is a police
state. If we are, what are we going to do about it? Most police states,
surprisingly, come about through the democratic process with majority
support. The masses are easily led to believe that security and liberty
are mutually exclusive, and demand for security far exceeds that for
liberty. Our government already keeps close tabs on just about
everything we do and requires official permission for nearly all of our
activities. One might take a look at our Capitol for any evidence of a
police state. We see: barricades, metal detectors, police, military
soldiers at times, dogs, ID badges required for every move, vehicles
checked at airports and throughout the Capitol. The people are totally
disarmed, except for the police and the criminals. But worse yet,
surveillance cameras in Washington are everywhere to ensure our safety.
Like gun control, people control hurts law-abiding citizens much more
than the law-breakers. Centralized control and regulations are required
in a police state. Not only do we need a license to drive, but we also
need special belts, bags, buzzers, seats and environmentally dictated
speed limits. Or a policeman will be pulling us over to levy a fine, and
he will be toting a gun for sure. Let's reject the police

"While the actions of the SWAT team do not mandate the suppression of evidence seized from the defendant, those actions as they relate to the bar patrons do merit the condemnation of anyone who believes that this country is not, at least for
the moment, a police state. Nevertheless, without any reasonable, articulable suspicion that any of the customers were armed or dangerous or posed any threat to law enforcement officers, the members of the SWAT team restrained and handcuffed the customers at gun point. If the slightest bit of protest or resistance was offered by the customers, that individual
was, according to Sexton “placed” on the ground through physical force. As I indicated earlier, I am astonished and dismayed over this scenario. I am astonished because for twenty-two years it has been the clearly established constitutional law of this country that the patrons of a business about to be searched may not be subjected to this type of treatment absent
some reasonable and articulable suspicion that those patrons are armed or dangerous. See, Ybarra v. Illinois, 444 U.S. 85, 100 S.Ct. 338, 62 L.Ed.2d 238 (1979). And yet the SWAT team in this case acted in absolute contravention of this constitutional principle. I am dismayed because Officer Sexton, the apparent spokesperson for the SWAT team at the suppression hearing, was not only unremorseful for this sorry business, but indicated that he and his team would do the same thing again. Under the principles of operation for the SWAT team described by Officer Sexton the elderly nursing home
patient, the worshiper and the restaurant diner would all be presumed armed and dangerous, and each would be handcuffed, searched and treated the same as the bar patrons in the instant case. I for one find this possibility profoundly disturbing. Somehow this familiar basic tenet of American civic life has become lost on the authorities conducting the search in this case. One can only hope they become reacquainted with it."

"But the renowned Minnesota Model has its critics, who cite recovery rates of 25 percent or less for conventional treatment programs. One of its most vocal critics is Dr. Joan Mathews-Larson, PhD, founder of Health Recovery Center (HRC), a Minneapolis-based program which has treated several thousand alcoholics and addicts since 1981, using a method based on 'biochemical repair,' rather than talk therapy. Claiming recovery rates of around 75 percent, Mathews-Larson contends traditional treatment programs fail to address biochemical factors that cause chemically dependent people to crave alcohol and/or drugs. Mathews-Larson became involved in the issue in the late 1970's, after her 17-year-old son Rob committed suicide soon after completing alcoholism treatment at a Minneapolis rehab center. Not long before his death, Mathews-Larson suspected her son's post-treatment depression and mood swings might be linked to his consumption of high-sugar foods. Testing by a physician confirmed her son was hypoglycemic. After earning her certificate as a substance-abuse counselor, Mathews-Larson conducted research at a local treatment center showing an 80 percent incidence of hypoglycemia in chemically dependent patients. Other researchers have reported similar data, noting that alcohol is a concentrated form of sugar. Gathering other researchers' findings on the physiology of alcoholism, she designed a program using amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to replace the natural brain chemicals destroyed by alcohol and drugs. Mathews-Larson's book Seven Weeks To Sobriety, first published in 1992, has sold more than 100,000 copies in the U.S. and abroad. Health Recovery Center has been featured on a number of national TV and radio programs, including ABC's 20/20, America's Talking, and the syndicated Susan Powter Show. (Exercise and diet guru Powter is a former HRC patient who published her own book on a similar biochemical recovery method last year.) Traditional treatment programs "all over the U.S. and Canada" have been purchasing HRC's detox formula 'in huge amounts,' Mathews-Larson said."

WARNING:Top Secret Ingredients of Alcohol Beverages - Beer has extremely high mineral content of Bone Ash (calcium phosphate from burned animal bones), Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potasium, which causes kidney damage (rheumatism aka fibromyalgia, tachycardia), kidney stones, heart attacks, and death. Dangerous phosphate level in beer is even higher than in cola (phosphoric acid). Mineral toxic wastes are scammed to the sheeple as "Rocky Mountain Spring Water". This is why alcohol beverages are the only foods not required to display lifesaving ingredient labels. Beer cans leach aluminum (Alzheimers Disease, demensia). Distilled liquor has virtually no mineral toxic waste, and the water is distilled (no mineral scale a/k/a calcium phosphate from limestone rock, a/k/a limestone concrete, a/k/a dental tartar). Wine is also high in Fluorine, the cancerous active ingredient in Prozac and other antidepressant mind-kontrol drugs. Safest to homebrew all beer (Ale) using distilled water, which requires glass bottles (no toxic metals), then not adding "alkalizing" minerals that contain phosphates. Homebrewing beer and wine is legal for non-resale. Distilling water is legal (a/k/a moonshine 'still) and avoids paying up to 80% sales tax.
Alcohol Chemistry - There are several routes of metabolism of ethyl alcohol in the body. The major pathways involve the liver and in particular the oxidation of ethyl alcohol by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). People with alleles (types) of ADH2 and ADH3 may protect those having these genes from developing alcoholism. These genes are common in the Asian population and convert alcohol to acetaldehyde more rapidly than normal. Because of this increased production of acetaldehyde, this toxic compound builds up and makes people who drink too much uncomfortable and ill. Therefore, these carries are discouraged from consuming large amount of alcohol. A similar situation is found in the second step of ethanol metabolism, which is catalyzed by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts acetaldehyde to acetic acid, which is a normal metabolite in humans and hence is non toxic. Asians, have a defective aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, ALDH2, in that it doesn’t metabolize acetaldehyde as rapidly as normal. Thus, a person who drinks too much builds up acetaldehyde in their system and feels bad or is sick. This manifests in Asians with the defected ALDH gene as a facial flush as they drink. These responses discourage drinking, thus preventing the development of alcohol abuse, dependence, and alcoholism.
Alcohol dehydrogenase - Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a group of seven dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In humans and many other animals, they serve to break down alcohols which could otherwise be toxic; in yeast and many bacteria, some alcohol dehydrogenases catalyze the opposite reaction as part of fermentation. This allows the consumption of alcoholic beverages, but its evolutionary purpose is probably the breakdown of alcohols naturally contained in foods or produced by bacteria in the digestive tract. Others believe that its evolutionary purpose is involved in vitamin A metabolism, as alcohols are relatively 'empty' calories, providing no nutritional benefit. Humans have at least six slightly different alcohol dehydrogenases. populations from Europe have been found to express an allele for the alcohol dehydrogenase gene that makes it much more active than those found in populations from Asia or the Americas. This may be a correlating evolution with the rise of aldehyde dehydrogenase, which has been suggested as one of the more recognizable recent evolutionary changes in humans (along with lactose tolerance) - in order to make water safe in cities too dense to use springs, Europeans fermented alcoholic (and hence antiseptic) beverages, while Asians typically boiled their water (creating, among other things, tea). This selected for those who didn't suffer from violent alcohol flush response in European populations. There have been studies showing that ADH may have an influence on the dependence on ethanol metabolism in alcoholics. Researchers have tentatively detected a few genes to be associated with alcoholism. If the variants of these genes encode slower metabolizing forms of ADH2 and ADH3, there is increased risk of alcoholism. The studies have found that mutations of ADH2 and ADH3 are related to alcoholism in Asian populations. Drug dependence is another problem associated with ADH, which researchers think might be linked to alcoholism. One particular study suggests that drug dependence has seven ADH genes associated with it. These results may lead to treatments that target these specific genes.
Acetaldehyde - Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in ripe fruit, coffee, and fresh bread, and is produced by plants as part of their normal metabolism. It is popularly known as the chemical that causes hangovers. In the liver, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is then further converted into harmless acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase - In the liver, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is then further converted into the harmless acetic acid (vinegar) by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde is more toxic than alcohol and is responsible for many hangover symptoms. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is known to assist in processing acetaldehyde in the body and therefore can help to relieve hangover symptoms. Some persons of far-Eastern descent have a dominant mutation in their acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene (specifically, the mitochondrial ALDH2 gene), making this enzyme less effective. In these people, acetaldehyde accumulates after drinking alcohol, leading to symptoms of acetaldehyde poisoning, including the characteristic flushing of the skin and increased heart and respiration rates. Individuals with deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity are far less likely to become alcoholics, but seem to be at a greater risk of liver damage, alcohol-induced asthma, and contracting cancers of the oro-pharynx and esophagus due to acetaldehyde overexposure. The drug disulfiram (Antabuse) also prevents the oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid, with the same unpleasant effects for drinkers. It is used in the treatment of alcoholism. Metronidazole (Flagyl) causes the same effects. This drug is used to treat certain parasitic infections as well as pseudomembranous colitis.

"Drunk driving is a political crime. Unless you understand that and
I mean a political crime as we know it today. I see lots of nods out
there. Unless you understand that, unless you have that perspective; that
you are dealing with a political crime, you are not going to be able to
effectively defend a client. You are not going to be able to effectively
approach the so called 'scientific evidence' either the magic box or field
sobriety tests or horizontal gaze nystagmus or anything else. You must
develop that perspective. Many of you sense that there's something
wrong--that this particular offense is a little different from other
criminal offenses, but you still approach it as a criminal defense
attorney, rather than as a DUI attorney. It's important for you to
understand and have perspective on what you're dealing with when you go
into a DUI case. We've talked about the Constitutional projections and, by
the way, what happens in the DUI field--and this is where we are losing
our rights, this is where we're losing our rights. What happens today is
going to happen tomorrow in other types of offenses. Roadblocks today for
DUI. Roadblocks tomorrow for everything else. It's called precedent. Now
let's talk about the third area that I'm supposed to talk about today.
That is the area of scientific evidence. I use the term scientific very
advisedly. Okay, so to attack DUI scientific evidence, you have to
understand what you're dealing with. When you're dealing with these
quasi-scientific field sobriety tests and these magic boxes, you're
talking about the difference between truth and expediency or imposition of
order. The system, the legal system, is not concerned with truth. The
defense is truth. It's truth. What a mind-boggling concept to a criminal
defense lawyer! Think about it. You're criminal defense lawyers. The other
side, you know, they've got the eyewitnesses, they've got the
fingerprints, they've got the cop-out confession. What are you there for?
To blow smoke and raise reasonable doubt, right? You have been trained
that way. That's how you pursue and defend your cases. DUI isn't like
that. DUI is different. What's different is they're the ones who are
blowing smoke. They're the ones that are palming off false science.
They're the ones that are palming off this field sobriety crap. You are
the ones who are trying to point out to the jury what the truth is. That
these--this is not science. This is not true, it is false. This is
difficult for some of you to comprehend, that you are interested in
bringing truth to the jury in a DUI case. And that is a pretty darn
important perspective. I think it's a pretty neat thing. A lot of people
ask me why the heck do you defend drunk drivers and nothing else? And I've
been doing it for a long time now. Because, two real reasons, one; I
firmly believe we are the people at the dam with our fingers in that crack
in the dike when it comes to constitutional protection. This is where
we're losing it. Two; I like, I really like the feeling that I'm trying to
bring the truth to a jury. Long ago I got tired of trying to blow smoke
and raise reasonable doubt. I like truth. You've got to understand that is
what you are trying to do. You are trying to develop truth. You're trying
to get the jury educated to what really is happening. To debunk this false
science. Okay, this is the kind of machine that we've got and by the way,
understand something else that is critically important for you to impart
to the jury. Not only are these things inaccurate, not only does the
manufacturer have no confidence in them, but they don't measure alcohol.
Right. They don't measure alcohol. Please, by a show of hands, how
many people here know what I'm talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, this
machine does not measure alcohol! What it measures is any compound that
has the methyl group in it. It's a stupid machine, okay? Their expert will
call it a smart machine--state-of-the-art. Smart, meaning it's
self-diagnostic and so on. It's a stupid machine. It does not recognize
alcohol when it sees it. It does not measure
alcohol." —Lawrence Taylor, attorney at law, DUICENTER.COM,
audiotape trascript: "Attacking
Blood-Alcohol Evidence"
"While most Americans might believe judges are expected to consider all cases with equal impartiality, a prominent judicial standards organization suggests courts should treat differently any case involving driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). The group is now working in concert with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote 'efficient disposal of traffic cases.' The center opened a website covering 'The Court's Role in Reducing the Incidence of Impaired Driving' as a well-documented multimedia resource. It urges lower court judges to adopt advocacy or "problem solving" roles. 'In DWI cases, courts can have a much broader role than in many other types of cases,' the site teaches. This is evident when the court explains to law enforcement procedural shortcomings following unsuccessfully prosecuted cases." Leading California DUI legal expert Lawrence Taylor, author of DUI Blog, believes the National Center for State Courts has crossed the line into improper conduct. 'I guess high conviction rates, draconian sentences and turning a blind eye to constitutional violations helps establish that tone,' Taylor wrote. 'After 39 years of practice, I can still remember when judges were supposed to be impartial, even in drunk driving cases.' Impartiality is essential when sober motorists end up falsely accused of DUI and receive no compensation for legal expenses if found innocent, as has happened in Arizona, Oregon, Washington DC, Florida, Maine and Texas. Other individuals have been convicted by judges of "driving under the influence" without any automobiles involved. In Virginia, a man was convicted for riding a lawnmower while drunk, a Georgia woman for riding a horse, a North Carolina man for riding a scooter and a New Jersey man for riding a toy mini-motorcycle. Courts in New Jersey and Minnesota insist you can be arrested for driving under the influence in a parked car. NHTSA confirmed the effort to apply DUI standards to incidents that do not involve drunk driving. It created an advertising campaign in 2005 specifically targeted drivers who were not drunk, but had consumed "a small amount of alcohol." These efforts can generate a tremendous amount of revenue for cities and police officers. A Houston, Texas police officer was paid $172,576 in 2005 primarily by earning overtime on a DUI task force. That same year, Albuquerque, New Mexico generated $1 million from DUI seizures and fines."

"The Supreme Court of Canada last week ruled to exclude scientific evidence from trials that involving driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). The case considered the accuracy of the breathalyzer readings used to convict two motorists.
Robert Albert Gibson had produced a breathalyzer reading that estimated his blood alcohol content (BAC) at .12 and then .10 in a subsequent test. Martin Foster MacDonald blew a .146. At the time the breathalyzer test was administered, each was over the .08 limit. However, because it takes time for the body to absorb the alcohol and cause impairment, the defendants argued that it was possible that they were sober at the time they had been behind the wheel. Expert scientific witnesses backed up the defendants with evidence based on the average absorption and elimination rate of alcohol. At the time Gibson and MacDonald were actually driving, their BAC could have been as low as .40 and as high as .10 -- the range straddled the .08 limit. [They were aquitted in the first trial, and the aquittal was upheld by the Candian Supreme court, but an Appeals Court overturned the Supreme Court and ordered a new trial, which they lost.] Their convictions were upheld [in the second trial] because the court ruled that the possibility that the BAC could have been lower than .08 raises no reasonable doubt. California DUI attorney Lawrence Taylor said the ruling sets troubling precedent mirrors several US decisions. 'In other words, the defendant is not permitted to question the Breathlayzer results -- because it interferes with efforts to combat drunk driving,' Taylor said. 'Think about that.'"

"AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) -- Three days after Marble Falls police took their first driving while intoxicated suspect to the hospital armed with a search warrant for a blood draw, Seton Highland Lakes Medical Center in Burnet announced they will no longer adhere to the court order. "There were some issues," said Capt. Roger Sooter, with the Marble Falls Police Department. "But the draw was made, then we received the letter from the administrator." Seton Highland Lakes Medical Center Administrator, Scott Fuller, wrote a letter to city and county officials Oct. 6 that stated "effective immediately, the Highland Lakes Medical Center will not draw specimens under a search warrant. Please do not transport persons to the hospital for that purpose." Marble Falls police had just launched the new DWI blood warrant program for Burnet County. All county and district judges agreed to sign off on search warrants requiring a blood test when a suspect refuses a breath test. "We do not understand [Seton's] stance," said Burnet County Judge Donna Klaeger. Klaeger e-mailed a letter to Fuller and Seton's legal counsel, questioning the hospital's position. As of Monday, neither the county, nor the Marble Falls Police Department had received an explanation. "We asked them to provide us the legality of being able to say no to a court order," said Klaeger. Monday afternoon, Greg Hartman, the Senior Vice President of the Seton Family of Hospitals e-mailed a statement explaining their position. Hartman said "there is a conflict in state law." Hartman wrote "there are other situations where it is questionable whether a licensed hospital can draw blood from a person without an order from a qualified practitioner to draw blood or consent is obtained directly from the suspect without coercion." Some of the issues involved distinctions between privately-owned versus county and other types of hospitals. Monday, Seton said they will only draw blood under a search warrant if a person is arrested, caused an accident that resulted in injuries or death due to alcohol, and they refuse a voluntary blood test. In the meantime, Burnet County law enforcement officials can take DWI suspects who refuse a breath test to Llano Memorial Hospital in Llano."

"About 200 civil-rights advocates and other citizens came to Monday evening’s public forum to question Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo about his plan to train officers to obtain blood samples from suspected drunken drivers. But hospitals want out of the deal, Acevedo said. They say their staff does not have the time and cannot afford the legal risk of improperly declaring a suspect drunk. Acevedo said the city could not afford the seven full-time phlebotomists it would need to take blood samples if hospitals stopped cooperating. At the forum, Acevedo urged City Council and the public to let Austin police take part in a federal pilot program that would train officers to draw suspects’ blood themselves. The police chief’s arguments did not satisfy critical audience members who lined up behind a microphone to grill him. The line only grew as the debate approached its scheduled end, ultimately continuing for an extra half hour. At some points, the audience’s excitement overwhelmed the forum’s organizers. The moderator and an assistant tried for several minutes to remove one man from the microphone as he accused police of having “blood lust” and the audience chanted, “Let him talk!” “Do you think free people in this country are going to submit to a gang of thugs?” the man asked a weary-looking Acevedo. State Rep. Sylvester Turner has also submitted a bill to the Legislature that would ban police from taking the samples themselves. John Bush, a panelist and the executive director of Texans for Accountable Government, was applauded as frequently as the police chief was shouted down as he attacked the training plan as “impractical and of questionable constitutionality.” “I do not feel that any amount of training would be sufficient for an officer to take blood from a resident of Austin,” Bush said as the audience — which included several members of his group — roared with approval. “We’re talking about police officers. They’re not necessarily known for being the most genteel creatures,” said Debbie Russell, president of the ACLU’s Central Texas chapter, to audience laughter as Acevedo smiled and took a drink of water. The five-member panel also included Councilman Mike Martinez, who won cheers for opposing the training program, and Karen Housewright, the executive director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s Texas chapter and Acevedo’s only solid ally on the panel."

"According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken for a breathalyzer test. 'The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons,' the complaint alleged. Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn't move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station. 'I couldn't hold it no more,' he said. Cruz, who was arrested Tuesday, still faces two charges: driving under the influence and driving without headlights, and two counts of obstruction."

Satan was being expelled from Heaven. As he passed
through the Gates, he paused a moment in thought, turned to God and said,
I hear a new creature called Man is soon to be created. This is true, God
replied. He will need laws, said the Demon slyly, prompting God to
indignantly exclaim, What! You, his appointed Enemy for all Time! You ask
for the right to make his laws? Oh, no! Satan replied, I ask only that he
be allowed to make his own. It was so granted.
