One more way for the state to generate revenue and one more reason why people should get rid of the current local officials....in my opinion.

Well, I'd like to see the statute. Normally these statutes must be triggered by or are defined by a behavior aspect (lewdness, loudness, etc). Just setting them at a BAC # is rare - but possible, I guess. This is another reason why I often really dislike police.
