This device is apparently intended for installation in new cars. In essence, it is a sensor in your car which would signal any nearby police if you had been drinking."

    Does the constitution give you the right to put people in danger by driving while intoxicated?

    The thing is, this is a good idea. People go nuts when something happens that will let the authorities know when they're doing something against the law! I personally think this is something that could save some lives. And if it causes you to be pulled over when you are innocent, (liquor spilled on your clothing, friends who are drunk) then you have nothing to worry about, right?

    Honestly, I don't get why some people insist on certain "freedoms" when by bending those rules you could save many, many lives.

    But then, some people don't care about other's lives. Very sad...
