An Ignition Interlock In Every Car?
ryeguy-nm writes "Monday the New Mexico House of Representatives passed a bill that would require every car sold in the state to have an ignition interlock. This device is essentially a breath analyzer that prevents the car from being started if the driver is drunk. The bill would require that every new car sold be equipped with an ignition interlock by 2008 and every used car by 2009. Ignition interlocks require a breath test, which takes 30 seconds to complete, to start the car as well as random 'rolling retests' to discourage others from taking the test for you. These rolling retests require the driver to take the test as the car is moving. If the driver fails a retest, the horn sounds and the lights flash until the car is turned off. The bill's lead proponent is Dem. Ken Martinez who believes the bill is a quick fix for New Mexico's drunk driving problems. Opponents of the bill argue that it penalizes car dealerships and law abiding citizens who have never driven drunk. The bill makes no mention of who will have to pay for the device, but it will most likely be auto dealers and citizens who have to sell their cars. It seems to me that impinging upon the liberty of an entire state is a little bit too extreme. Perhaps tougher penalties and larger fines for people who actually drive drunk would be a better idea."
INSTALLING YOUR NIGGER.
You should install your nigger differently according to whether you have purchased
the field or house model. Field niggers work best in a serial configuration, i.e. chained together. Chain your nigger to another nigger immediately on unpacking it, and don't even think about taking that chain off, ever. Many niggers start singing as soon as you put a chain on them. This habit can usually be thrashed out of them if nipped in the bud. House niggers work best as standalone units, but should be hobbled or hamstrung to prevent attempts at escape. At this stage, your nigger can also be given a name. Most owners use the same names over and over, since niggers become confused by too much data. Rufus, Rastus, Remus, Toby, Carslisle, Carlton, Hey-You!-Yes-you!, Yeller, Blackstar, and Sambo are all effective names for your new buck nigger. If your nigger is a ho, it should be called Latrelle, L'Tanya, or Jemima. Some owners call their nigger hoes Latrine for a joke. Pearl, Blossom, and Ivory are also righteous names for nigger hoes. These names go straight over your nigger's head, by the way.
CONFIGURING YOUR NIGGER.
Owing to a design error, your nigger comes equipped
with a tongue and vocal chords. Most niggers can
master only a few basic human phrases with this
apparatus - "muh dick" being the most popular. However, others make
barking, yelping, yapping noises and appear to be in
some pain, so you should probably call a vet and have
him remove your nigger's tongue. Once de-tongued your
nigger will be a lot happier - at least, you won't
hear it complaining anywhere near as much. Niggers
have nothing interesting to say, anyway. Many owners
also castrate their niggers for health reasons (yours,
mine, and that of women, not the nigger's). This is
strongly recommended, and frankly, it's a mystery why
this is not done on the boat
HOUSING YOUR NIGGER.
Your nigger can be accommodated in cages with stout iron bars. Make sure, however, that the bars are wide enough to push pieces of nigger food through. The rule of thumb is, four niggers per square yard of cage. So a fifteen foot by thirty foot nigger cage can accommodate two hundred niggers. You can site a nigger cage anywhere, even on soft ground. Don't worry about your nigger fashioning makeshift shovels out of odd pieces of wood and digging an escape tunnel under the bars of the cage. Niggers never invented the shovel before and they're not about to now. In any case, your nigger is certainly too lazy to attempt escape. As long as the free food holds out, your nigger is living better than it did in Africa, so it will stay put. Buck niggers and hoe niggers can be safely accommodated in the same cage, as bucks never attempt sex with black hoes.
FEEDING YOUR NIGGER.
Your Nigger likes fried chicken, corn bread, and watermelon. You
should therefore give it none of these things because its lazy ass almost certainly doesn't deserve it. Instead, feed it on porridge with salt, and creek water. Your nigger will supplement its diet with whatever it finds in the fields, other niggers, etc. Experienced nigger owners sometimes push watermelon slices through the bars of the nigger cage at the end of the day as a treat, but only if all niggers have worked well and nothing has been stolen that day. Mike of the Old Ranch Plantation reports that this last one is a killer, since all niggers steal something almost every single day of their lives. He reports he doesn't have to spend much on free watermelon for his niggers as a result. You should never allow your nigger meal breaks while at work, since if it stops work for more than ten minutes it will need to be retrained. You would be surprised how long it takes to teach a nigger to pick cotton. You really would. Coffee beans? Don't ask. You have no idea.
MAKING YOUR NIGGER WORK.
Niggers are very, very averse to work of any kind. The nigger's most prominent anatomical feature, after all, its oversized buttocks, which ha
Why is this modded up? This is no different than mandating seatbelts yet I get modded to hell when I mention that I don't think it should be LAW that we have to wear them.
BUT BUT it could hurt someone else if you are ejected... Well this could save people's lives too.
The car drinks you!
Perhaps they describe their vodka in terms of octane instead of proof.
So I'll give you a little pointer:
Under no circumstances are you to apply reason when it comes to issues regarding anything even remotely related to personal privacy, rights or property.
Especially things that have potential to save lives.
And yes, I'm still pissed off about seat belts! I have to touch cold/hot metal just so I can have better control of my car and potentially save my life. Not to mention that there is a possibility of them locking me in, while the car is overturned, under water and on fire, no less! (With possibly someone running to attack me!)
(although i must admit that my seatbelt probably did save my life after a very intoxicated driver nailed me head on)
Get a clue people, I don't want drunk fuckers driving all around me, my family, and my kids, just because you find it inconvenient or conspiratory to blow in a tube for 30 secs.

I'm against this law but I can see where some of this might be coming from.
The fact is that many of the drivers in New Mexico aren't legal in any sense... that is to say no driver's license, no green card, no nothing. Have recently been in a fender scratcher over the recent Texas snow (I was a passenger) where the cause of the accident was an illegal alien with, as it turnsout, illegal license plates, no driver's license, no insurance, etc... the only thing left to control, since they can't control the damned aliens, is the car!
It's a ridiculous inconvenience and I'm very against it... they should SHOOT TO KILL all people attempting to cross into our border illegally and at a non-designated crossing area. Let the risk be known that we will not take prisoners, we'll just ship the bodies back over the border.
I'm sick of the damage these people are doing to our lives. And now with clear terrorist threat, what's to stop Al Qaeda from donning a sombrero and sneaking over with the other illegals? Nothing of course... shoot'm!
You're thinking of 'historical' Democrats and Republicans. The current administration changed all that. I know exactly who's been worse at it these past four years.

This reminds me of some article I read awhile back that mentioned that they could fit a breathalyzer on a credit card sized card. Why not just make every drivers license have a built in breathalyzer? It turns red if you're over the limit, and green if you're not, etc.

What's next?
What's next is that you go back and reread what I wrote in context (not to mention my follow-up) and stop accusing me of not taking responsibility for myself or promoting a "nanny-state". I clearly stated the punishments needed to go on the drivers and not everyone else.

Ok, look, fuck face. You have only provided 2 (TWO) complaints so far:
1. being pulled over for an illegal u-turn
2. being pulled over for a loud muffler.
I have 2 (TWO) pieces of advice for you:
1. don't do illegal u-turns
2. fix your goddamn muffler.
