Re: Fw: Drunk driver detector that radios police

I wonder what the effect would be in states like WI which don't require auto insurance. Insurance is noticably cheaper here than in MN which does require it. On Mon, Mar 10, 2003 at 01:25:05PM -0800, Bill Stewart wrote: > At 08:52 AM 03/10/2003 -0500, david <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >On Su

Wow, easy there, chief. I think you have some aggression you may want to let a professional address. Besides that... I'm not crazy about everything that the government does, but there are trade- offs in a non-perfect society. One of them is monitoring the innocent to, in turn, attempt to prevent

I don't guess you read the article. It answers at least your first question. Another option to breathing through a tube might be to not drink alcohol before driving. Wow, you know... deterring people from drinking and driving might be a favorable side effect of this public-monitoring, informatio

Re: Fw: Drunk driver detector that radios police

Good job. You just caused law enforcement to ignore emitters from all cabs, government, and police vehicles. My guess is that the unit will perform a self-check and emit a "broken" signal instead of "drunk". Maybe the police will only pull over "broken" vehicles not listed above, knowing that b

Re: Fw: Drunk driver detector that radios police

Screw that - just buy a few thousand of these little devices, disable them so that they're always transmitting "drunk driver" and install them in politicians' cars all over DC (make sure you install'em in cop cars too.) You can also leave them in cabs. They'll be banned immediately. ---
