Allowing law enforcement to have this kind of authority with potential drunk drivers is always overlooked. However, the second it bleeds into anything else, then it becomes a nightmare for citizens. Looking after 4th Amendment rights for all citizens prevents this sort of activity. Authority like this puts zero checks on police power.

But if there is any suspicion, your in for a long night.
