So when does the "breathing tax" go into effect?

Virtually all of these won't be enforced. They'll be used on occasion by either overzealous rookie cops looking to "make their mark", as an "excuse" to pull someone over in order to provide probable cause for (hopefully) finding something more sinister (like a nickel bag of weed or a couple of ecstasies - or possibly a bloody chainsaw or a kidnap victim). And naturally they'll be used by the popo to bust peoples' balls by giving them more fines/charges to tack on when the person pulled over doesn't adequately "re-spect mah author-a-tay".

I can't say I disagree with cracking down on inattentive, cell-phone-yammering idjuts out there or people that blast through school zones, etc. but I'm skeptical of ANYTHING government does. At this point, with so many laws on the books and virtually every human activity from birth through death (inclusive) regulated, taxed, overseen and administrated, I wonder if these laws are just designed to serve as the "first step" towards future, more odious/draconian regulations. . .

Yes, I distrust government THAT much.
