So you're saying that it's such a good thing to "catch as many drunk drivers as possible" that it's OK for police to disregard the Constitutional boundaries on the powers of government?
We see the same twisted logic in the rhetoric of the "anti-terrorists" at the Federal level.
Wouldn't you rather live in an America where the government was genuinely constrained to remain within Constitutional limits, even if it meant that the Enforcers had to work a little harder to protect us against Terrorists and Drunk Drivers and whatnot?
There's a famous proverb that goes something like: "What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?" In a similar vein: what good does it do to "Keep The Nation Safe" if, in so doing, we transform it into a travesty of all that the American Republic was supposed to stand for?
