We are talking about powers given to police officers in the bill and we are wondering whether the police will use them systematically. Now, it is as though we were warning about police powers. The bar would be less concerned about this, except that it does not appear in the bill and we do not know what the regulations will contain. We are raising a red flag here: giving very broad powers to the police and believing they will use them correctly and systematically assumes many things and leaves everything in their hands.
We are all parents and all want to do the right thing. We want to solve the problem of impaired driving, but we must not throw out the baby with the bathwater, as the saying goes.
