Police = Safety on the Roads

I've been thinkin about the work of police on the roads in relation to drinking and driving and who gets stopped and why and what for for some unknown reason that i can't seem to think of right now. But anyway, here it goes:

1) I'm glad to see our police department out working pulling suspicious people over for drinking and driving. Drinking (alcohol) and Driving is deadly and very much against the law. Hence, if they find someone who is drinkin and drivin, punish them to the fullest extent of the law.

2) I'd rather a cop pull someone over with only the slightest hint that they may be drivin under the influence than not and risk not pulling someone who is intoxicated over. Even if the person is innocent and sober, 5 minutes of inconvenience is not gonna hurt them. the ensuring of there's and the public's safety is worth the time.

3) I myself have had to do the stupid human tricks that is part of the drunk driving test b/c i was stopped at a road block in ackerman going back to kosciusko from a baseball game and since i had a cold, i was takin throat lozenges and chloraseptic spray so my breath smelled like alcohol from the medicine. it took less than 5 minutes, i thanked the cop for doing his job, and finished drivin back to kosciusko. no biggie.

4) I've been in a drunk-driving accident montgomery, AL in which a woman was killed so i might be a bit biased.

So basically, i'd rather someone sober who might have crossed the yellow or white lines out of distraction or somethin be inconvenienced and have to play the stupid human tricks game than a cop worry about harassing people and not pull over someone they think might have been drinkin. Thats about it.
