minus-squareSirActionSack@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·24 days ago Police aren’t usually pulling over random people and randomly testing them They definitely are in some jurisdictions. 0.00% is stupid. 0.08% is probably also stupid too but for the opposite reason.
minus-squaresunsofold@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·24 days agoPart of the point of what I said is that part two makes part one moot. It doesn’t even matter (as far as the legal limit on BAC) whether they do or do not pull people over randomly. 0.0 is fine.
