But only hispanics and construction workers?,I remember when they used to publish the names and addresses of drunk drivers you never saw addresses of south of town or north of town only the working class parts of town,at the time I knew a couple rich guys who were bragging about getting stopped drunk and the police giving them a ride home.If the machine has not been recalibrated every 3 months the results are worthless it is the manufactures recommended time period.Don't drink and hate drunk drivers but think their motives are more sinister than stopping drunk driving.

Its also interesting to note that FOP tells officers to refuse field sobriety tests if they are ever stopped by another department. They are designed to be failed, and that's sort of an admission.

You would have to be really drunk to consent to this test. They say it's to provide "probable cause" but they legally needed that to stop you in the first place.
