Holy ****, anybody see the problem with this idea? Before you get smart, I
don't drink, at all. Ever. But there are only a couple counties in that
whole state large enough to have a "local sheriff's office". Is there going
to be a line 5 miles long at those two offices every morning? Get through
the line many hours later, and then get back IN the line to do the afternoon
testing? Damn, someone really dropped the ball on this one. Talk about a
logistical nightmare. Wouldn't this fall under cruel and unusual punishment
by forcing DUIs to lose their job as they are constantly absent because they
are standing in line at the sheriff's office???????????????? -Dave
