[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [i] quote:once you have had a single drink? it's up to the cop to decide.[/i] [b] It's not up to the cops to decide - there are objective blood alcohol criteria.[/b] objective criteria? read again: Ohio’s Drunk Driving Laws Ohio Department of Public Safety figures indicate 1,975 people were killed and 73,536 were injured in 102,271 alcohol-related crashes in Ohio from 1998 to 2002—an average of 395 deaths, 14,707 injuries and 20,454 crashes annually. Nationally, alcohol-related deaths have been increasing each year since 1999. In 2002, 41% of the 42,815 US motor vehicle fatalities were alcohol-related. This translates to 17,419 deaths, or an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 30 minutes in the US. On January 1, 2004 Ohio adopted a new OVI (Operating a Vehicle under the Influence) violation. It replaces violations for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and OMVI (Operating a Motor Vehicle under the Influence). http://www.ohioinsurance.org/factbook/2003-04/chapter3/chapter3_a.shtml [b]National standards The 2001 US Transportation Appropriations Act mandates that a portion of a state’s highway construction fund be withheld if it didn’t adopt a .08% BAC level by October 2003. Ohio adopted .08% BAC effective July 1, 2003. [/b] it's now OVI instead of DUI or DWI.... one drink and you under the influence try rereading everything as if somebody had one drink and consider how many bars and restaurants there are that serve drinks. it only takes one to be considered Under the Influence legally. the .08 is INTOXICATED... back when i did drink? i could pound a sixpack and then drink one beer an hour all evening and you wouldn't even know i was drunk. but i was legally, and i've never once gotten pulled over for drinking. then? cosider the stats include anybody with even a .0000001 alcohol level... that's the stats... that's what they are using to make these draconian laws.. and i don't drink... i don't really like the way it makes me feel anymore, i gave it up a long time ago. i like to have a glass of cabernet now and then with a rare prime rib.. but i don't care to get a "buzz" there are many brand new rules, and they do allow for the cops to make on site decisions that can be challenged and often are (successfully) in court. as for thinking the cops are after me? you'd be amazed how many times i've been pulled over and sent on my way with a "have a nice day". you'd also be amazed how many times i didn't caught speeding. i like making long distance runs, i made it from LA to Omaha once in 27 hours with a four hour nap... i turned around and went from there to DC in 24 with a four hour nap a few moths later... that doesn't count as a coast-to coast run but..... so let's just say the cops "know" me, but not as well as they want to :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
