nobody is saying you can't get drunk. You can drink as much as you want. You can drive as much as you want once you are licensed. However it is unlawful to do both at the same time.

i never said this was a 100% solution actually I specifically said every security system has a flaw..... I said it could easily eliminate upwards of 90-95% of all drunk driving. Maybe after so many years of it being integrated into new cars, old cars need to have it installed to be registered.
No way would I be good with that crap being installed in my car. I'm not a criminal and will not be treated as one.

"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is one of the most famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence. These three aspects are listed among of the "unalienable rights" of man.
Having a computer could be a way to "pursue happiness"
I never claimed it was a right. however, Its a lot harder for me to drive my computer @ 60 mph under the influence tho and kill a family of 4. For starters my computer doesnt even have wheels and I don't know how I could steer while holding the monitor. Then there is the problem of power...where am i am going to get an extension cord that long for those longer trips. ........
But you could use your computer for all sorts of illegal purposes, hence, why others in this thread have suggested that you need to let all of us scan your hard drive on a regular basis to ensure that you're not.
I'm sure you don't have a meth lab either but the pharmacy is still going to limit your sudafed purchases.
Two wrongs don't make a right. I actively worked against that moronic law.
What have you done lately (posting a link on ATOT doesn't count).
im sure I could choke you with my toothbrush too. Do we want to just use extremes for the rest of this conversation? I can go get my tin foil hat on if so.
How is this an invasion of privacy? I didn't see anywhere about reports being sent to authorities. Its pretty simple....if your sober you will not be troubled. If you are drunk your car wont start. I'm not seeing the privacy issue?
literally millions of people drive under the influence daily. I'm not quite sure that same # use there computers for whatever activities you are trying to make the comparison too.
So, you'll be signing up for a data recorder for your car soon so the highway patrol and/or insurance companies can make sure you are driving within the speed limit and obeying all other traffic laws?

You're the one who started using extremes. These stats of death to drunk drivers is the extreme. Out of the hundred million Americans who drive a car every month, only 1000 people are killed. That means that only 0.00001% of people on the road will be killed by a drunk driver. You're probably more likely to die in a bathroom accident, say choking on your toothbrush, than you are to be killed by a drunk driver. So who's the one going to extremes? I say it's you.
Are the deaths tragic. Yep. Should the drunk driver be held responsible? Yep. But I'll be damned if you're going to treat me like a criminal because of the acts of a tiny minority.
Driving on public roads is not a persuit of happiness its a privelege. You are free to drive your car however you like on private property.
