They directed them into the parking lot. NHTSA folks spoke with them.

here's the problem (for example):

1. a teen is now late for school after lunch

2. a woman is now late for a doctor appt.

3. a man is late to work and is FIRED.

4. a mom out driving around to get her baby to sleep, now has a screaming baby in her back seat.

all because they didn't give any of these people a choice as to whether or not to go into the parking lot.

aside from the LEO's, I don't think we're going to see eye-to-eye on that issue.

isn't there concern though that even if you just speak to them they are using that device to take a "passive" breath test? don't get me wrong, it's never going to test positive on me, I just find it invasive and flat out deceiving.

would it set off alarms if they made your child late for class? or kept your wife out later than expected? These people had NO choice in whether to stop or not. It was an abuse of power. Flashing lights say "obey me" or go to jail.

Personally, I would really like to know where the other 30 cities are.

the link I posted was working just before lunch, I showed it to my husband.

just saw this.

can a LEO use his car when off duty? I know the officer who is at our church on Sunday morning is in uniform and has his car, but I've just sort of thought he's "on call"?

This whole thing is very fishy to me....someone or all someones really abused some power....badly.
