[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601929, member: 60724"] As I said, Caymen, you just don't like the PI law. Then lobby to have it changed in your state, and move to Texas to have it changed there too. It's a law on the books and if enforced in bars it WILL (logically and statistically) reduce incidents of drunk driving; and I for one would rather deter that crime BEFORE it happens then try to catch people in the act or worse, mop-up the highways after the fact. Regardless of the benefit that enforcing the PI law in bars will logically have in reducing drunk driving, the fact remains it is a law on the books, and it is clearly written and DOES NOT require that someone also break some other law (like "disturbing the peace", or "aggravated assault") in order to also be charged with PI; though that seems to be the way you think it SHOULD work and/or was intended to work. The guy, bothering nobody, in the corner of the bar that has well over the limit....I say LOCK HIM UP! ;) TJR [/QUOTE]
