[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 601967, member: 52972"] Caymen, The problem with your stunted logic is that you assume that the majority of the accidents are caused by people who are just over the legal limit of intoxication. And that the falling down drunks are not the problem but are unfairly being targetted by the TABC. As TJR stated, you are making way too many assumptions. The TABC are targeting the staggering, falling down, obvious drunks because they are obviously drunk in public. Currently, there is no legal way to run a field sobriety test or breathalize exam on anyone in a bar. The police must believe a law was violated, and the stagger drunk satisfies that part of the PI law. I have never hear anyone in their right mind imply that we should arrest the drunks who are just over the legal BA limit because you assume they are more guilty, but let the falling down drunks go because you feel we have no proof that they are causing the accidents. That makes absolutely no sense....You cannot possibly believe your own words, so what makes you think you can convince anyone else. That last statement clearly shows that your logic is seriously flawed. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
