Brooks Patterson has been stopped at least four times for drunk driving and been let go free, with zero penalty, each time.   So if these laws don't pretain to law enforcement, then why should they pretain to us?   For those facts alone, the laws should all be scuttled.    Not to mention that the breathalyzer should not be admissable as evidence in a court of law.   Breathalyzers make many errors, especially for people who are on the Atkins diet and in many other situations.   Eliminate the breathalyzer and all of these horrific laws come tumbling down.   After all, according to the NHTSA, only 2.55 % of all car accidents are the fault of a driver who is behind the wheel and intoxicated.    Forget that "alcohol related" crud that MADD spews.   The truth is that drinking drivers are not nearly the problem that MADD's lies and exagerations make it out to be.   it's now estimated that 35% of all traffic accidents are caused by distracted drivers.   That's a whole lot more than 2.55%!   And there's no severe punishments for distracted drivers are there?   What about sleepy drivers?  What about elderly drivers?  What about people who are driving cars that are in disrepair and cause an accident by for instance failed brakes?    The whole DUI system is unjust and the laws unfairly applied.    The general public falls victim the these terrible DUI laws while cops are often intoxicated while on duty and all many cops let thier "brother" cops off the hook when they pull an off-duty cop over when he's driving drunk.    In Michigan, Oakland County's present day county executive (and former prosecutor) L.
